you have pretty much answered your own question, power wise the semi will make your dually look silly , the down side is you will need a cdl, even with farm exempt, as you will be over 26000 and have air brakes , not a big deal but you really need to sit down and talk with your state mvd if your going for exempt plates because you will need to know all the answere to the questions you'll be asked when stoped at roadside inspections or scales, you will have to stop, even if your are running exempt, the dot guys in the field wont know that until they get a better look at your truck, im not exempt so i dont know all the paper work for that but you better have it all because thats the first thing they want to look at, a semi tractor no mater what its doing is a commercial class vehicle and you will need the million dollar liability coverage you will need to get a dot number, its not much but its a way the dot gets info on your truck, basicly it tells then who owns it, where its based and what kind of hauling it does, plus a few other things that vary state to state, mantenence on a big truck will cost a lot more than your dually, just a oil change on my kenworth is over 200 dollars and thats with me doing the oil change , 2 new tires on the semi will cost more than all the tires on your dually, if you decide to buy one dont buy unless the seller can provide mantenence records and show proof of any claimed major componet overhaul, [ if he's claiming the truck has a fresh engine he'll have paperwork to prove it], a overhaul of a 3406 b caterpillar engine in a pete just cost the company i work for over 18,000 so thats a expence you want to avoid for what you want to do a truck with around a hundred thousand on a overhaul will last you as long as you are able to drive it if you take care of it
