In most states, the limit will be what your tires can carry. In Utah (which uses the federal standards) a single tire, single axle is limited to 10,000 pounds and a dual tire, single axle is limited to 20,000 pounds - not to exceed the limit of the manufacturers rating on the axle or the tires. If you have some tractors, a farm to keep them on and a few animals, why not look at getting a farm license for a larger truck (like I did with my '62 Pete). I pay about half of what the yearly license would be in Utah (I pay about $250 a year) and can get farm insurance on it (and save a bundle as well). In most states (check yours out), you can only use the vehicle in conjuction with your farming operations, but purchasing and moving farm machinery is a part of that operation. In Utah, if you're using what would normally be a commercial truck for farm operations, you don't have to have a CDL, but you're limited to 150 miles away from your farm. Get a CDL, and you're covered anywhere in the 50 states. Also be aware that you're ARE subject to getting DOT inspections on your vehicle as well as paying any state road tax for states that you travel through. Typically, buying fuel in the states you're traveling through covers it - save those receipts.
