    Yep a pretty cool toy is correct. But if I was stupid with money what the heck. I would think though that it is a tool more for a business and not a firewood nut.

    Cool toy for a guy selling lots of firewood, posts and poles, or just haul for othet people. I think in alot of states you could stay off the dot radar screen with a setup like that.

    That does not seem like a bad deal when you look at what a dump trailer or just a heavy duty trailer costs!!!

    Not this one. DOT pays more attention to pickups towing stuff like that than you think. Hook that to a pickup and you need #'s on the truck and better know the rules. They've been after landscapers and other outdoor contractors in this area for the last few years.

    That's actually good here next door they try to tow overweight trailers with half tons to avoid numbers and you watch truck flex over frost heaves :bug:

    but that would be pulled for over weight regardless

    I dont think you need DOT numbers around here to toe that if it is legetimilty for personal use.

    We dont have to tag or title trailers in this state unless there for business. Personal trailers , farm trailers and trailers under like 16ft dont need tags so that basically means all trailers but biz DONT need tags. I do think you have to tag travel trailers like campers though. Almost all those I see have tags.

    I own 4 trailers NONE have tags or title and are perfectly legal that way.

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    All trailers here need to have tags here except for some very small tools like log splitters. Trailers over 3k GVWR need annual safety inspections, brakes on all axles, functioning breakaway switches and titles of course. DOT #s on the truck over a certain GCWR even for personal or farm use. All pickups over 8600lb GVWR are tagged commercial here too.

    The difference in the land of the taxed and over regulated and a more lax southern state .

    I know because I looked up the trailer dogs here in the state when I got the larger 16ft car hauler and read them right off the state webpage. I already knew boats didnt need them as I have two and use to have one before these two trailers boats.

    Most of the farms do have the low boys or whatever they have with a farm tag on them but I think that is more to keep transport police off them. They won't mess with a farm truck usually.

    That is nice. But you need to move a good number of logs to pay for that.

    all trailers regardless of size need plates 24 dollars a year.. trailer over 1000 lbs empty is bigger plate and I think 36 dollars.. someone else might correct that prices are going up.. bigger plate needs inspection which is 15. a 5 by 10.... boat trailer.. snowmobiles, yeah 200 easy that's just trailer not stuff on them... easy 200.... why I need to register any boat with a motor to DMV so a bloody kayak i put trolling motor on needs a number ....gotta stop before I go political
