Look, speaking as a retired NYSP DOT Trooper, you have to do some homework. Going to RPRU to display a tractor probably (???) isn't under the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, or so I'm told. Things have changed since I retired. So chances are, and you'll need to check on this, you won't fall under the FMCSR. But, scales are not a Federal issue, they are a state issue, so you're going to need to check with state authority as far as scales and licensing. Don't depend on something a faceless name on a website forum gives you for info. I've seen a lot, and I mean a LOT, of truly bad info given here and elsewhere. Call the states you are going to pass through State Police or Highway Patrol, get the info, get a name of who you talked to, ask every question you can think of, get it in print if you can (like from a state website), etc. Better safe than sorry.
Off topic here, but it has always struck me as insane that a guy hauling a tractor behind his pickup has to jump through hoops, so to speak, but Grandpa Greyhair can drive his motorhome towing the Caddy (and in some states, his boat behind the Caddy!) and never have to even pass a higher class license test!
