Speed limits raised for implements of husbandry, some trash hauling

The statutory maximum speed limit for implements of husbandry and vehicles carrying uncovered trash or debris will be raised from 30 mph to 35 mph, effective Aug. 1, 2025.

An implement of husbandry is a self-propelled or towed vehicle designed or adapted to be used exclusively for timber harvesting, agricultural, horticultural or livestock-raising operations.

The same change applies to a vehicle used to transport garbage, rubbish, trash, debris or similar material when the transported material is uncovered.

A similar operating speed increase also applies to towing implements of husbandry without taillights and license plate illumination being required as well as vehicles for which a slow-moving vehicle emblem is required to be displayed.

The law is sponsored by Rep. Bjorn Olson (R-Fairmont) and Sen. Ann Johnson Stewart (DFL-Wayzata).
