Havent brought over any in the last 2 years, but before that I brought back 15 over 5 years.
No problems if you
- have your receipt with the sellers phone number on it
-have your passport or enhanced license at the ready along with your registration (truck and trailer)
-leave your firearms and any attitude at home
- haven't been drinking and arent trying to carrying on a conversation on your phone while the border guard is talking to you
- have stopped at a self car wash and hosed off the tractor good (that stops "microbes" from hitching a ride on your tractor across the border-like they do on your tires, the body of your vehicle and on your body, the wind, the rain.....)
-be patient
-BE POLITE
-cross during a busy time, they wont have time to bother with small potatoes like you. If you show up late night/early morning when traffic is sparse those bored border guards will have the time to go over your load with a fine tooth comb. If your not smuggling in maple syrup and Canadian Club, it'll just be a waste of time, but an hour there is one hour more to your journey. My favourite trick to get through the line fast was to stop at the currency exchange before crossing the border and "topping off" my radiator by spilling some antifreeze on the intake. By the time I got across the Blue Water Bridge (Sarnia to Port Huron) the hot intake was boiling the antifreeze and by the time I got to the guards booth, it was steaming out from under the fender wells looking and smelling like it was overheating. The guards didnt want a truck and trailer rig boiling over, breaking down and putting a crossing lane check-point out of service so they would quickly check my drivers license and wave me through.
A trip to Canada is always fun, bringing home an old tractor makes it even better, just make sure your rig, all its lights and every tire (spares for every wheeled vehicle) is in excellent shape. If you drink diet Mountain Dew bring your own, it isnt sold there, and Canadian Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants dont have biscuits to go with their meals- its all gravy fries and poutine!

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
