Case Notes
Applicability.
Implements of Husbandry.
To the extent that there is a conflict between § 27-35-102 and § 27-35-210, that conflict is irreconcilable and results in a repeal by implication of § 27-35-102 for purposes of farm tractors traveling on highways at night. That is because the Arkansas General Assembly clearly took up the subject matter of permits for farm tractors anew in the more current statute. McMickle v. Griffin, - Ark. -, - S.W.3d -, 2007 Ark. LEXIS 240 (Apr. 5, 2007).
A well-drilling rig would not qualify for the exemption to weight limitations provided for implements of husbandry. Stuart v. State, 263 Ark. 54, 563 S.W.2d 398 (1978).
