A back hoe, being a device by which a person or thing may be transported or drawn upon a highway, could qualify as a "vehicle" under the Highway Traffic Act. Furthermore, because it is propelled other than by muscular power, it could also qualify as a "motor vehicle" under the Highway Traffic Act. As such, it should not be operated on a highway unless it is registered and insured.
