Here in Minnesota, a "farm trailer" does not need a license if you are operating within 150 miles of the farm & hauling farm produce or supplies. The fedral regulations require all trailers be licensed. However, the state & county officers are in charge, & they follow MN law, not fedral law. It"s all in who does the enforcing.... You see all kinds of rigs out on the roads, as long as you have chains on & lights at night no one much bothers you.

In addition, farm equipment traveling under 30 mph basically only needs an orange triangle in the day, plus lights at night. Practically no other regulation - OTHER than weight limits.

So anyhow, my county (as well as the state) has a law that you can only have "x" amount of weight per inch width of tire on the county roads. In spring most county roads are posted for much lower weight ratings as the frost comes out and this is enforced as well.

I assure you, very, very much, that ANYONE in Minnesota can get pulled over _just_ to have their rig weighed. Only reason. And that includes a farm tractor pulling a grain wagon, through a semi / trailer combo. Or a car pulling a camper or cement blocks.

And my county intends to pay for the portable scales they bought last year, so understand, you _can_ get pulled over just for a weigh check. Any time, any where.
