Everyone should walk the bridge great experence

More reliable than my 2008 Super Duty. Neat experience. 👍🏻

There must not be a whole lot happening up there, if this is a highlight for local folks to come out and watch..

[@avioncamper]

Hope everyone had enough fuel , looks cold. Cool idea.

[@richardrockhill4706]

That machine is about power, not speed.

There must be a rule book on this. I know my wife would like to ride along but I doubt they would let her sit on the fender of my 4020.

[@TractorManMike]

There is a rule book for buddy rider seats.

Were you at the end of the line? It looked like it cleared up when you went across. I was watching a live stream of the crossing and it looked cloudy and cold. Thank you for sharing this. I hope to be able to participate in 2025. I'm in Florida. 🚜 👍

I was near the end. It was around 11:30when I got on the bridge. It was very windy and cold...bring some warm Florida weather with you next year!!

[@tractorhyatt7044]

@@TractorManMike I want to participate, but it looks like you have to be a member of a participating tractor club for insurance purposes. Any suggestions on how to approach that? Thanks again. Hyatt

[@TractorManMike]

On the webpage for the crossing, it has a list of participating clubs who take new members. The organizers can also put you in touch with a group to join.

I was watching That Oliver Guy's channel for the livestream but he lost signal.

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Do you know what speed the tractors have to maintain to be able to participate in the bridge crossing?

[@deanfournier3760]

10 mph

[@dalelangila9274]

Wow how long is that bridge

[@LorenUecker]

It’s 5 miles long

[@phillipgarrow2297]

I'm surprised that they would allow it

[@LorenUecker]

The Mac Bridge Authority hosts different special crossings like this tractor ride and special pedestrian walks across it

[@phillipgarrow2297]

@LorenUecker I'm from Northern Michigan lived here all my life I just learned something new thank you

Not fun stalling out on the bridge. Then to be towed downhill. That’s not fun either.
