Ah, the great American pass time! Second guessing, going with no information, Monday morning quarterbacking. We have no information beyond just what the first poster reported, but we're gonna jump into it with both feet. If you REALLY wanted to know what was going on, why didn't you just stop and ask? That would be too much trouble, better to make assumptions and go off half cocked.
For those who really are interested, each State has different laws regarding farm vehicles, implements of husbandry, trucks used to same, etc. Some Counties and Towns have their own more stringent rules too. If you want the straight scoop I'd suggest contacting your Farm Bureau, Co-Operative Extension or Dept of Motor Vehicles . For instance- NYS has specific rules regarding farm vehicles and implements, farm trucks, agricultural trucks, horse drawn vehicles, lighting, weights and sizes, etc. In NYS the best place to get information is the sources I mentioned above and your local NYSP CVEU DOT Trooper. Trooper. If you really want to get the best info for your local area those are the guys to talk to.
As for the first post and the scales wagon and the farmer- who knows? Since a farm tractor and spreader hardly fall under the heading of a Commercial Motor Vehicle it's entirely possible there was a local ordinance regarding weights on that road, or the guy could have been a friend of theirs wanting to get an idea of his loaded weight.. who knows? But instead of admitting we have no idea we see the typical attacks and idiotic replies that tell us to bribe them! How sad that so many of us are so superior to the rest of the world that we can pass judgment on so little information.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
