Section 1543 refers to a person operating a motorized vehicle on a highway or public road. There is caselaw which defines a tractor as a motorvehicle. This is important because if you were DUI suspended at the time you may be looking at a mandatory 60 day jail sentence. You may have a defense but it is not an easy one to bring. Sit down with a local attorney who knows the judge. They will be able to give you a clear answer of how that particular court deals with these types of cases.
