4. Every farm machine and combination of farm vehicles must, at night if more than 2.6 m wide without exceeding 3.1 m wide and in the day if more than 2.6 m wide without exceeding 3.7 m wide, be equipped with

(1)  at least 2 flashing amber warning lamps that flash in unison, mounted as symmetrically as possible on the lateral extremities of the vehicle without exceeding them. If one of the lamps cannot be mounted on a lateral extremity of the vehicle, it must be mounted in all cases at less than 40 cm from the extremity. The lamps must be mounted at not less than 1 m and not more than 3.7 m from the roadway so as to be visible to the driver of a road vehicle approaching from the front or rear at a distance between 300 m and 30 m; or

(2)  at least 1 amber beacon or strobe light or an equivalent light bar mounted on or as near as practicable to the top of the vehicle. The amber beacon or strobe light or the light bar must be visible to the driver of a road vehicle approaching from the front or rear at a distance between 300 m and 30 m.

Every farmer who is the owner of a farm machine or combination of farm vehicles who contravenes this section is liable to a fine of $120 to $360. However, the fine is $60 to $180 if the offence is committed because of the colour, position or visibility of a lamp, light or light bar.
