Look, speaking as a retired NYSP DOT Trooper, you have to do some homework. Going to RPRU to display a tractor probably (???) isn't under the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, or so I'm told. Things have changed since I retired. So chances are, and you'll need to check on this, you won't fall under the FMCSR. But, scales are not a Federal issue, they are a state issue, so you're going to need to check with state authority as far as scales and licensing.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
