I know trailering and CDL's have been covered several times here but I haven't always followed the threads. Here goes: I'm hoping to go to the Red Power Round Up in Des Moines in june. Heres a pic of my trailer. Sorry for the quality. Its been a rough several years for me and I haven't shown a tractor in 12 years or so. Its time and my son is now old enough to help and show interest. Question is,I have a CDL A for my job (mechanic) but to be honest, I don't think I've gone on the road to get a disabled truck in 20 years. Does one need a CDL to haul his own stuff with a pickup? Do I need to go over scales? The trailer is 21,000 GVW 27" long and I'm using an 06 Dodge 3500 SRW that I've used before locally. I want to haul two tractors a 340 and a W-12. I've hauled around locally with 3 tractors and firewood logs etc. We bought this trailer new in about 94 and at that time State police (MSP) told us there was no limit on a personal pickup. Later I was told by MSP: NO privately owned personal pickup (not for hire) ever needed to scale and only one ton dually on up would have to scale if the truck was a flatbed (not original pickup box). I got stopped for going 70 in 2000 with one tractor and was told by MSP that I must stay right and go 55 as required in Mich for all trucks. So you see, my info is dated. And yes as a CDL holder I am aware of the regs and know that my truck and trailer would exceed 26,001 lbs GVW, but do they really hold true for a guy with a couple shiny tractors on board. Please keep comments civil.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
