johndeerefan said: (quoted from post at 11:05:40 03/23/10) I live in KY where you don't have to license a trailer if you have farm tags on the truck, much like all other states. Now, I have a KY trailer plate on my 25' gooseneck 14K trailer and farm tags on my F-250. If I were to go to IN, IL, or TN to a show that is more than my 150 mile legal range, what will DOT use as my weight restriction. The trailer plate doesn't have any weight limitations labeled on the plate. It just says trailer. I know on a regular truck plate, you can buy additional weight limit plates. How will they treat the KY farm plates. Will they go by the truck factory specifications, trailer factory weight limit, or a standard 10K lb truck license?
In Tennessee, it's been my experience that they don't enforce any licensing requirements on trailers for personal use. I have 3/4 ton GMC truck with personal tags pulling bumper hitch, gooseneck and enclosed trailers to haul tractors to shows all over Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky on a regular basis and I have never been questioned. Could they? Probably could. I went to a show last year in Alabama with my unstyled Model A and B on the gooseneck, ran across commercial scales on the way and the whole rig weighed 19,200 lbs.
Maybe I'm lucky but I have also occasionally been to Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Arkansas and Louisiana to shows or pick up tractors and parts over the last 10 years without any problems. When I first started going to tractor shows I pulled into the Tennessee scales with my gooseneck rig and was told to not pull into the scales again and I haven't. I used to drive a truck for a living and I know they can find something wrong if they want to.
