If it was me driving that tractor I'd want the bear to quote chapter and verse EXACTLY what Statute gave him the authority to weigh a farm tractor. Around here it's considered an 'impliment of husbandry' and they are NOT to go near it with scales. It's that simple. Technically speaking, 'here', we could have a farm plated truck (a semi tractor) towing a 30' dump trailer and the trailer is NOT required to be licensed since farm trucks are allowed to tow 'farm wagons'... and that 30' trailer falls into the category of farm wagon.

Ofcourse if you were a boyscout and had commercial plates on that trailer liek you really should, and that kind of weight... you'd be headed straight to jail. Dunno why they'd be weighing a manure tank though. They aren't than heavy anyway, aside from the fact that they have no business doing so. Are you sure it wasn't a matter of them trying to get at the operator somehow due to odor complaints? That they WOULD try here.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
