"Farm Use"... As a 14 year old, during the summer of 1975, I drove my uncles 1958 IH two axle truck, with a dual axle flat bed trailer five miles back and forth between his barn and his hay field. My uncle loaded hay bales onto the trailer with his tractor and I drove the truck and trailer back to the barn and my cousin unloaded the hay bales into the barn. We did this for two weeks. Of course, the truck had no brakes and you had to remove the plywood covering the windshield on the passenger side before you moved the truck. Yup, farm use.

I dunno what the rules are today,but in the 60’s in England a 15 year old with a farm/tractor licence could drive on the road 3 miles between fields/farms. So if you had a string of fields…. legal driving age on 4 wheels being 17 at the time, probably still is.

it's a hard judgement call, but empty trailer and clear signs of being hauled for repair and made legal or one way to be scraped? yeah, no issues there, so long s the "tow rig is legal" it would be equivalent of ticketing a tow truck driver for not hauling everything wrecked or broken down on a flat bed. that's the best example I can think of

Black locust will also last forever. I just redecked a trailer with red oak. Brought a log to my buddies sawmill and sliced it up. That was last year, been meaning to spray it with used motor oil/diesel mix top & bottom. My usual way to preserve wood/equipment/trucks. It soaks in and isn't slippery in a couple days, and things do not rust or rot. White oak can split/check apart. Its why furniture isn't made from white oak, so ive been told by sawmill guy and an arborist.

Excited to see the transformation! Now, I just want to add something.. as a trucker here in the United States, my thing is hauling oversized/overweight loads.. I have a big Peterbilt and a Fontaine tri-axle lowboy. My tare weight is 44,500lbs. Now, I am not that familiar with Ontario, but down here if I am hauling a piece of equipment and my gross weight exceeds 80,000lbs, I am not allowed to have more than one thing on the trailer at a time. That creates a divisible load and that is illegal in most jurisdictions. So, let's say your tare weight is similar to mine, add the tank at 50k, you're sitting at 95,000lbs gross. That makes you not only overwidth but overweight as well. And that would mean you cannot haul your Bronco on the back of the trailer. 2 separate pieces, overweight load, that means you're divisible. Again, I am not that familiar with Ontario, but here in the states, that is a BIG no-no. Even something as simple as a spare tire, a set of forks to go with a loader, tracks for a machine that are loosely on your deck, that all makes you divisible and will get you parked and out of serviced by the police.

You're going to need weight permits in the US, too, if the trailer weighs 20K, and the tank weighs 50K, plus whatever the cab over weighs. In most of the US, the highway weight limit is 80K. Some states have bridge laws that allow for more weight without permiting, but you're going to need more axles.

The non-divisible part only applies to the oversize piece itself. You can have an oversize item and a non oversize item on the same trailer, or multiple oversize items that have been reduced to their smallest dimension. You cannot however have multiple items that would normally be legal dimension loaded in a way that exceeds legal dimensions, or have an oversize item with an easily removable attachment that increases its dimensions attached.
@abpsd73

I don't know about your haybale theory, sir. MAYBE if the FMCSA stopped you, you could talk them into it.

I agree with your "Grey area" theory - I don't know from the Great White North, but I don't think a cop in the states would have ticketed you. I love it - it's just the right trailer for moving the Sherminator. I look forward to seeing the old tank chassis at a show someday. that box filled with ratchet straps is almost better than cash. I can't wait to see the Sherminator going down a highway near me! Of course, I'll look close to see if you have the right amount of chains on it!

I'm from Pennsylvania, mostly Amish around here. Pretty much anything goes under "farm use." I've seen ALOT more sketchy stuff from the mushroom houses, too.

over here in Switzerland you can legally tow pretty much anything for "farm use" with a tractor, the catch is, you can't exceed speeds of 25 km/h. BUT you can have multiple sketchy trailers. One of the local guys sells his Bales in a nearby town, loads 2 trailers in the field, leaves it for the night and starts off driving at 4:30am to reach the town before the work traffic happens so he doesn't piss off hundreds of people going over a hill at maybe 15km/h because that's all it ll do uphill. anything that isn't "Farm use" is very heavily regulated here

In the UK we have a similar "grey area". We can legally drive any vehicle to a Pre-booked MOT (government test) as long as it's not dangerously falling apart, we can also drive it home again even if it fails, AND take it to a mechanic to be fixed, AND home again before taking it to another Pre-booked test. All completely legal. Nowhere does the law have a limit on the distance.......I know someone who Pre-booked his MOT into a garage 100 miles away, got stopped by the cops on the way for no MOT certificate or Road Tax (which you can't get without an MOT certificate) but they couldn't charge him with anything as it was legal ! He had just finished a 5 year rebuild so the car was in really good condition. You do have to have the vehicle insured though.

Even once you have your oversize permits and routing, the liability is still on the driver. So if you get wedged into a road construction site, you have to pull over and call for a new route.

We do the same "farmer trick" here in Norway and it works all the time (and we probably have way more bureaucrats than Canada).

Yeah I figured those cylinder's were fine. I use to build them, I've never seen a hydraulic cylinder's seize up! that's basically unheard of. You could always buy used ones or build your own if you absolutely had too.

Growing up in BC--where even a forklift that only ever makes a trip across the road needs a license plate--Ontario's "slap an orange triangle and a hay bale on 'er" laws were a pleasant surprise. You can move some weird things down a road, just make sure you have your magic hay bale and orange triangle.

Hey, that's incredible. I should watch you more often. You have great content with that KZbin channel. Yes, keep it legal. It certainly is a loophole you went around. Slow-moving agricultural equipment. Yes, it certainly is incredible.
