Yes farmers have their own exemption. So yes using cutting hay might have been a bad example. The point is people do not think they have to follow DOT rules because they are not in the trucking business.
Let me put it this way. Give me a good reason why someone needs to haul a tractor big enough to get above CDL weight but yet can call it personal use. About the only thing I can think of is a guy hauling a tractor to a hunting lease to plant a food plot. But 99% of those guys are no where near CDL weight.
I see it all the time with our extremely high discretionary income today. 3/4 and 1 ton trucks have become very popular but yet they can get you in trouble. Here is one example.

So is he oblivious to the laws or just doesn't care about the laws? Neither is a reasonable defense.
