Actually, it is NOT illegal in MN or most states, the cop was wrong on the DL but the guy has to have an orange triangle on this mower. In almost all states, Implements of Husbandry or Farm Equipment is exempt from a Drivers License requirement. Here is MN law.
A driver's license is not required for operating an implement of husbandry. License plates and vehicle registration are not required for implements of husbandry, although if the implement is being towed by a truck, the truck must have a license plate. A farm trailer with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more pulled by a car, pickup or truck must have a registration plate.
All implements of husbandry designed for operation at speeds of 25 miles per hour or less must be marked with a slow-moving vehicle emblem. The emblem is a fluorescent yellow-orange triangle with a dark red reflective border which conforms to standards set by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (Standard S276). The emblem must be visible 600 feet from the rear of the implement

This is a bit off topic, but it reminds me of watching ths film a few years ago:
man rides tractor to visit estranged brother
Riding a lawn more on the road in Mn without a driver license is illegal in Minnesota. My neighbor had a DUI and was going everywhere on a lawn tractor (including the liquor store ! ) until he was pulled over and informed it was against the law.
A man down the road never had a drivers license. He still gets around to shops, Dr's. Etc. In his new John Deere Tractor 6R series

While camping in Murrells Inlet, SC I saw a guy towing a tri-axle Airstream with a Dodge Magnum. Had a large hitch that almost dragged on the pavement. I am sure that Airstream had a GCWR of 9600# and I doubt that the Magnum had a towing capacity of that amount. Had Canadian plates on the vehicle. He said it had plenty of power to tow the trailer, not sure about stopping it in an emergency.

Have you ever seen someone try to load a riding lawn mower in the trunk of a Prius?
