What Mark said is not so true. Pa law requires a separate chain and binder on all four corners of any implement hauled that is over 10K. If the implement has any attachments on it, say a front loader, an extra chain and binder must be securing the front loader as well and does not count for one of the other four. Chain and binder on any attachment applies to any implement does not matter the weight. A DOT # is needed for any trailer over 10K with Combo plates on truck. Combination plates must be issued for truck for any trailer over 10K. Combination plate should be registered to the total capable weight of truck and trailer combined. Example would be if your one ton truck has a GVWR of 9900 and your trailer is a 14K gooseneck then you add the two together and your GCWR would be 23,900. You cannot be over this weight or you are illegal even with combo plates. As soon as you add Combo plates you must have a Medical card, not a CDL. You must also have a fire extinguisher in the cab of the pickup that is accessible to the driver WITHOUT opening a second door to get to it. If you cannot easily access it with just the drivers door open then you must have it labeled on the outside of whatever door must be opened to get it "Fire Extinguisher inside". This even includes if you have a toolbox mounted in bed of truck and put extinguisher in toolbox, it must be labeled that extinguisher is in toolbox. You must also have a set of portable triangles in the vehicle. Any chain that is used must be marked on the chain what grade it is or the DOT cop will consider it a grade 30 which is the lowest grade chain and most likely would not be heavy enough for any implement over 3000-3500#. I have been to the DOT classes to learn this!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
