Mike: I find this whole thread quite interesting, as I grew up and farmed in a jurisdiction that had DOT registrations for farm tractors. Their argument was, if your going to take it down a public roadway, we want to know who it belongs to.

This was in Nova Scotia, Canada. In the early days it was an annual registration, we cursed the very being of that registration. Then they changed it to "no expiry", and from that day it was just a transfer whenever a tractor changed hands. I will admit the no expiry was a big improvment and quite easy to live with. We still called it a nuisance, however one knew exactly who the owner was when buying a tractor. If he couldn't produce a registration cretificate, you didn't touch it.

I always though this system was rather cumbersome, however we had very few incidents of stolen farm, forestry and construction equipment. I know one can insure against this, however with insurance the victim still pays. I find it unbelieveable the numbers of stolen equipment one hears about just by word of mouth, here in southern Ontario.
