RE: duece yard tractor

Our local Boy Scout troop pulls a cargo trailer and a boat behind a Panel delivery van ( no 5th wheel ) been doing it for years and never had a problem with Johnny Law. Just be sure that the lights work on the rear trailer and everything is plated. Also make sure the rear trailer does not " sway " when going down the road.

If you do get pulled over in Ohio, I suspect the only trouble any body would give you would be about the Historical plates, To get around this all you should need to do is keep a copy of the laws with you and tell the officer that you are going to a club event...

Good Luck !

RE: duece yard tractor

Based on the chart posted the rig would be legal in Michigan. The things it does not tell you in the chart is that recreational duals require a special driver's license endorsement and the front trailer must be a fifth wheel. Bumper towing two trailers would not be. I won't come down there and try to find you and I wish you luck but I think that chart is missing a few steps. I have not looked into Ohio and Indiana law to see if it is like Michigan law. I hope you guys have fun. I think the best part of the trailer train is if something happens you are only out about $50 in scrap aluminum from the camper.
