Yes farmers have their own exemption. So yes using cutting hay might have been a bad example. The point is people do not think they have to follow DOT rules because they are not in the trucking business.
Let me put it this way. Give me a good reason why someone needs to haul a tractor big enough to get above CDL weight but yet can call it personal use.
