Been reading on other forums that DOT is considering new regulations that would require a CDL license when operating farm equipment with a single or combined gross weight greater than 10,000 lbs on any road. Just about eliminates any self-propelled combine and hauling grain even with a smaller tractor without a CDL. Also appears the roaded machine is subject to a DOT inspection. Can't imagine driving over to the Driver's license testing facility with an older tractor without a buddy seat and have them ride along for a test. I assume they will require one to bring some kind of truck. Sure would totally screw-up this small farming operation.
