You hung yourself when you said the truck is used for "agriculture purpose". You need a DOT #.
The way the law is set up........ Any truck used that has a potential for profit; crosses a state line; and weighs over 10,000 lbs needs a DOT #. Grass cutter; private carrier; farmer; for hire carrier; ANY TRUCK. You do not have to be getting a check for hauling something to make a profit.

Gross or have tags for 26,000 lbs or more an cross a state line and you better have a IRP tag with each state you travel in listed on the registration.
