You really need to study your state laws and decide based on that. While your 1 ton most likely meets and falls under some of the same rules as the larger truck; as you have stated you get by with it because it is a 1 ton. You will not do this with a larger truck because they stick out more. In other words the larger truck is viewed as a bussiness and the 1 ton could be veiwed as personal even though it is a bussiness also.
In a quick I did look at some of yours rules for Iowa. Lets assume you are a legit farm and you will tag the truck as such. Farm trucks over 10.000 lbs need a federal annual inspection. All brake work needs to be done by qualified personal. You are exempt from CDL laws as long as you do not go out of the state. If you are over 26,000 lbs and you stay in the state your tag is good; but if you go out of state you will need a tag for each state you travel or a trip permit; This is called IRP tags. You are exempt from IFTA fuel tax laws as long as you do not go out the state.
So the big question is......... Will you cross a state line with this truck????
