Al Baker, try reading my post again maybe you will see all of it and if you read it slowly enough perhaps you can even understand it, LOL. If any of you YTDOT officers were to actually check the regs you would find out that once you unhook the farm implement from the tractor and hook it behind the pick-up truck it is no longer a farm implement it is a TRAILER. THEN, provided that you have the appropriate lights, safety chains, tires, etc. and you abide by all laws such as minimum speed, and get your over width permit, you will be told as I was by the DOT to take the interstate. That is where they want you. I have pulled an IH 990 9 ft mower conditioner, an MF 224 baler and a ten foot NewHolland discbine for over well over 100 miles on the interstates here in NH and also Vermont being passed by state police and REAL DOT in the process. Over width loads, you may notice, are rarely on secondary roads, they travel on the roads that are built for them. Sure there are signs here in NH at the interstate entry ramps, stating no farm equipment. Think how big the signs would have to be to have the whole Motor Carrier Safety Act at every entry ramp for the drivers who can't seem to find their way to call for the correct information. Another fine example here of YTDOT living up to its fine reputation for passing out false information to the unsuspecting, blindly trusting, occasional hauler.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
