On the trailer plates, I went ahead and licensed my gooseneck trailer just in case I wanted to go beyond state lines with it. However, I also have an 18' equipment trailer and don't have tags on it. They tried at the clerk's office, but I fought them off. They are getting really hard to convince, since so many lawn care businesses try to get out of paying for a plate. Cops in my area have really cracked down on them, pulling them over left and right.
As far as getting farm plates, I just told the clerk I wanted farm plates. They didn't question it. Although, when you sign your name, you are agreeing you have a farm and using it for farm purposes only. As we know, most people don't really follow that rule to a tee. I am legit as a farm owner, but will use the vehicle for personal stuff also.
I wonder how a DOT or state trooper would treat my farm plates if I get pulled over within the state with an antique tractor on the trailer? Technically, I am not using the vehicle for farm use, but rather transporting a hobby. It would be really no different than hauling my personal automobile on a trailer. Most of them probably wouldn't say a word, but they could throw the book at me if they wanted to saying I am suppose to have a standard issue tag that is rated for the weight I can haul. Guess I am walking a fine line there.
