You need to ask the manufacturer some questions about transporting your new firewood processor.
1. Does it have a VIN? - If no, then it is not a road-legal trailer, but it may fall under the "equipment, doesn't need a license" classification.
2. If yes to #1, does it have lights and a place to mount a license plate?
3. Are the tires and wheel bearings high-speed DOT approved for transport at highway speeds?
A piece of equipment only needs lights if the tow vehicle lights are not clearly visible from behind AFAIK.
If it is indeed a piece of equipment, not a trailer, DO NOT put ANY license plate on it at all.

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
