What is a Hydro license?

You must be licensed if you operate equipment in Massachusetts that is capable of:

raising 10+ feet, or
lifting 500+ lbs, or
holding over 1/4+ yard of material

For complete description of the law: http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXX/Chapter146/Section53

First paragraph, my bold:

Section 53. (a) No person shall operate derricks, cableways, machinery used for discharging cargoes, temporary elevator cars used on excavation work or used for hoisting building material, when the motive power to operate such machinery is mechanical and other than steam, unless such person holds a license or temporary permit as provided in this section. The owner or user of such hoisting machinery shall not operate, or cause to be operated, such machinery, unless the person operating it is duly licensed or possesses a temporary permit. Any operator of such hoisting machinery when it is being used exclusively for agricultural purposes shall be exempt from this section.

Well ok then, sounds like too many folks missed out on playing in the sandbox with the Tonka trucks when they were kids.


Sad....

So if you are hauling around feed in the FEL for your cattle, you don't need it. But if you use the same tractor with FEL to clear snow from your neighbor's driveway, you do. Real smart, them lawyers....

When shopping for my first tractor I rented the BX25D from HD. Whole weekend for about $250. Wonderful way to get experience with it without being beholden to any salesperson or dealership.

I ended up getting a slightly larger machine, so I'm glad I rented first.

Only problem was it fit in my garage so well, I didn't even think about the larger tractor not fitting in the door with the ROPS up. :laughing:

Yep. Mass is run bug a bunch of money grubbing democrats that want to invent new taxes... Or fees to justify someone's job.

I went into my local HD last week and noticed a brand new BX25 on a trailer. Thought it may have belonged to a shopper inside. But then realized if was in the stores rental lineup. Thought it was interesting. I wonder how long before someone cuts the lock and" rents" it a midnight.

South Bay Plaza?
