I've done 9 miles when I rented a big NH hoe a few years ago was cheaper then delivery, and that was twisty hilly NY rural roads.
Often do 2-5 miles with farm tractors and wagons.
Also in this state depending on the law enforcement if the GVW rateings of your combined vehicle is over 26,000 pounds or if just your trailer is over 10,000 gvw CDL is required unless you are running farm tags on the truck.
Love those "farm tags". Can get away with almost anything. I once worked with guy in CT, where farm tags allowed a vehicle to be anywhere within a 50 mile radius of the 100 acre farm, who ran a land clearing business and every piece of equipment had farm tags. This included a cat 385 feller buncher ( 185K Lb machine ) that would clear a heavily wooded acre per hour. A rolling bed aluminum 53 foot trailer receiving chip from a
chipper with a 12 foot wide belt that was 45 feet long. The feller buncher would cut a group of trees and lay the bundle on the ground, a second Cat 325 ( 57K + lbs ) would pick each tree up and lay the entire 60-80 foot tree on the belt and the
chipper, capable of eating everything up to 40 inches, just chewed it up and spit it into the rolling bed trailer without any hesitation or slowing down of the feed rate. If the wood was worthy of selling fire wood then it was set aside, otherwise it got chipped. He sold firewood on the side and had 3,000 cord on the lot at all times, 1000 dried and ready for sale, a 1000 a year old and 1000 green needing curing. Everything had farm tags. The feller buncher and the rolling bed
chipper were each million dollar machines. All state tax free.
I watched the feller buncher cut a tree that was 6-7 feet across at the base. He cut halfway thru and then went around the opposite side and cut the remaining half and laid the tree down onto the ground. Did not drop the tree, he laid it down while holding it with the Cat 385.
We all on TBN are just playing with toys!!
