If it was me driving that tractor I'd want the bear to quote chapter and verse EXACTLY what Statute gave him the authority to weigh a farm tractor. Around here it's considered an 'impliment of husbandry' and they are NOT to go near it with scales. It's that simple. Technically speaking, 'here', we could have a farm plated truck (a semi tractor) towing a 30' dump trailer and the trailer is NOT required to be licensed since farm trucks are allowed to tow 'farm wagons'... and that 30' trailer falls into the category of farm wagon.
