Hi, just wondering what the limits might be for a piece of farm equipment overhanging the back of a trailer. My trailer is an 18' long double-axle trailer with dovetail in the last 3 feet. Pulling using a standard hitch with a Ford F250.
The piece of equipment is 30 foot long, which has a long tongue that can extend forward 4-5 feet over the front of the trailer, leaving about 6 feet extending past the rear of the trailer deck.
It's not a heavy load, just long. Think I can transport this legally? Or do you need some sort of permit? It will be 16 hrs on the road. I'm not a professional transporter... it's just a piece of equipment I'm thinking about getting for my farm that is not close by (Iowa to NJ). Transport using a hired service with a lowboy trailer will be over $3000.
Thank you.
