I"m from MA too. The registry will take your money if you get commercial plates. The JD 50 weighs less than 5000 lbs and I'm guessing the plates will cost around $100. I would also think the insurance company would give you a policy with a low mileage discount if you qualify for a plate.
Your biggest problem is putting passengers on a trailer. If you were an amusement park paying a large premium for the entire operation, you could negotiate something regarding the trailer.
If you don't have any farm income, you can't get farm plates. If your tractor activities earn any money, you can't get historical plates. There are three or four other classification including OO (owner-operator), OR (owner repair), and some strange MA plate that I saw on an antique truck at a tractor show.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
