Trucks registered as a farm truck may not be used for any non-farm occupation, trade or employment. If you use your truck for a non-farm job or other commercial purpose, you need to register it as a dual-purpose farm truck or as a regular truck. You may use a farm truck registered at less than 38,000 lbs. for personal or family purposes, but not for commuting to another job. A farm truck registered at 38,000 lbs. or more may not be used for personal or family purposes.
Trucks used both for farm and non-farm occupation (
dual purpose farm registration) may register at 4,500, 6,000 or 8,000 lbs. gross weight when used for non-farm occupation and may operate up to 12,000 lbs. when used for farm work.
