Thats interesting, though I recall hearing something of this. Well there's good and bad to this I suppose. The town years ago, sent me a warning about my old chevy K10 with a snow plow on it, I ignored it. It was not registered or on the road. Around then they were not so punctual with clearing snow from our lane, which is a fairly steep slope. so I would do it, often times at night getting home late, having to walk up the hill, clear the road, then walk down and get my vehicle, which was now in their way. Funny how the taxes have to be paid on time, and they were looking to obviously cite and or fine me. All of this is a bunch of petty crap to me, and I'm not the guy on the phone complaining, I'd rather take action myself, so if they don't show up, I'll do it and that is that.
Truck still sits in my yard, with 2 others and a pair of D7's, all of which I need to work on. My problem is some things I just don't get rid of, by the same token, I'm also not bringing any additional vehicles or any junk/clutter in, my last car, a daily driver, sure I'd have loved to mothball it for a later project, was a little convertible, but I sold it to someone who has one and likes these, for a parts car, ran good, so he had space in a garage, solved the problem, so in my case, the state does not have to worry about this place becoming some rogue salvage yard or hoard of vehicles that is growing in size.
One memory comes to mind was a 3 day blizzard in the early 70's, pre-'72, where the roads were totally impassable, the town called upon my father to open the state road with one of the old D7's, there was a rock cut 500 yards down the road and it drifted in like something out west in the rocky mountains, he had to punch a hole through it, this state road was closed, no equipment was near or available, it was an absolute emergency to get that road open, especially for emergency services. It would be really funny to have the town cite me for still having the tractor, I assume no laws have been passed in regards to old equipment. The other one is within a 1000 tractors in serial numbers, so yes it could be considered spare parts, they are identical, and the one in better condition legitimately only has 1015 original hours, tracks are like new, so it will be a very useful tractor to me sometime in the future, hoping to land a job I've applied for, then I'll be able to pick up where I left off with idled things in my yard.
It amazes me that a law like this carried any clout or pressing significance, we have other problems, our rights to bear arms has been infringed, and how many other things.
