I just got an old F-350. My wife tried to register it for me, but they wouldn't do it because I didn't initial my signature or some such. Anyway, they said because of the GVW I needed commercial or Farm Truck plates. Farm Truck plates are much cheaper, but she asked about restrictions since I don't want this vehicle restricted to 100% farm use. They told her it was fine as long as it was "primarily used for farming".
I've looked up rules and statutes, and don't see anything about this. The statute just says Farm Trucks are for hauling farm goods only. I'm afraid I'll get pulled over driving it to work one day and get slapped with a nice fine. All I have to go on is the DMV clerk's word. Does anyone else have any opinions/info?
P.S. if i get Farm Truck plates, they are going to make me pay sales tax even though it's farm equipment. The weird thing is, if it had Farm Truck plates when I bought it, I would not have to pay sales tax. The weirder thing is if it had Farm Truck plates when I bought it and I registered it as a Commercial vehicle, I would NOT have to pay sales tax. Isn't that bass ackwards?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
