Not really. I was out in the yard yesterday about 4 pm and I heard trucks going by slowing down and then speeding back up. My curiosity got the best of me so I took the Gator out on the highway and I saw where the Iowa DOT/bluebelley had a 6 axle truck with a Deere excavator pulled over was giving him the once over. I drove by and waved and went about my business out by the pond. About 1/2 hour later my wife and the trucker came out to talk to me. The DOT weighed him and he weighed 103,000 and was over width. He had the permits for state highways but not for county roads. I never heard of such a thing. He said he had to buy permits for the 4 counties he crossed on his way to his destination. He called his boss and it was too late in the day and the DOT guy put him out of service so he asked if he could unhook his trailer in our yard. Of course I said yes so he unhooked and we talked for awhile. The DOT guy said the fine was going to be right at $5000! What a rip-off! I sold my old Bantam 166 and told the trucker if I traded places do you think his boss would notice? The Deere only has 300 hours on it---Tee
