Just purchased a small front end loader for my Ford 850 tractor. I am in Maine, and loader is in MA. Am planning on driving down with a
regular pickup truck with a trailer with a max load capacity of about 5,000 lbs. The loader weighs about 900 lbs. Can anyone tell me of
any highway restrictions in MA regarding this type of trailer? Max MPH I think is 55, and chains required on hitch, plus usual lights and
signals, but are these trailers restricted from certain highways, i.e Rt 95, 93 or 495? Also, does the loader have to be covered with a
tarp? Any help would really be appreciated. I have tried numerous web sites, but just can no find the info, even from the MASS DOT
website.
