Operator Requirements: All drivers must be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license.
Speed & Spacing: Please maintain a safe following distance of at least two tractor-lengths. Follow the lead vehicle's pace.
Road Safety: We will be traveling on public roads. Stay to the right, follow all traffic laws, and use hand signals or blinkers when turning.
Passengers: Riders are permitted only if the tractor is equipped with a factory-installed buddy seat or if the participant is on an approved, secured trailer/wagon. Tractors equipped with a roll bar or cab require the use of seatbelts.
Alcohol Policy: No alcohol is permitted on the tractors or during the ride. We look forward to celebrating with you at the picnic afterward! Only 21+ years of age are permitted to drink.
Equipment: Ensure your tractor is in good working order. If you have a breakdown on the route, someone will be there to assist in getting you up and running or tow you home.
Waiver: All drivers must sign the event waiver and have liability coverage on their tractor. Ridn' for a Reason is not responsible for accidents occuring on the route.
