Take time to read the regulations. I don't know your intended purpose, but this isn't a good way to get out of higher registraton fees......farm plates are not good for general use of vehicles.

A farm truck is a vehicle operated for the purpose of transporting the owner's poultry, dairy, livestock, livestock products, timber in its natural state, and farm products to market or to other points for sale or processing, or for the transportation of laborers from their place of residence, and materials, tools, equipment and supplies, without charge, from the place of purchase or storage to the owner's farm or ranch, exclusively for the owner's use on such farm or ranch. The vehicle may not be used in connection with other gainful employment other than farming or ranching.

 

I would think if you have a farm and you have a truck then you should have a farm-truck

 

I was just wanting to make sure you knew that by getting those plates, the use of the vehicle becomes a bit 'limited'. We have a couple of them on the ranch. They are good for their intended purpose, which is to allow your farm truck to get off the farm now & then for business errands.

 

I have a good friend that has farms tags on every thing but his wife's mini van.
He does every now and then get pulled over in his late model Dodge 1 ton when it is all nice and clean. But as soon at the LEO looks in the bed it is a "sorry for the stop sir" and then some other BS - never a ticket.
If it looks like a farm truck you have no worries.

 

I had farm plates on my old truck that I would to and from High school every day but I got regular plates when the registration was up. If the farm is two hours away you might be in violation I don't know tho. I think it also has to be registered to the farm or in the same county. If I were you I would go with the regular plates. Is it the diesel You told me about? Or is it a gas motor? I don't think farm tags will keep you from doing an emissions test.

 

What's the $$ difference between regular and farm?


I took a very quick look at the link but didn't see it mentioned.
