Takeuchi skid steers

[Projectjunkie]

That sounds like a quitters attitude.

Sun tan a lot or paint skin brown.
Practice saying “No hablo” while shaking your hands in confusion.
Get skid steer moved.

Edit: wear sombrero and Mexican blanket for extra street cred.
Edit 2: have lots of Taco Bell wrappers on the floor of your truck. Be actively drinking from Taco Bell cup if if get pulled over. It will help sell you are an authentic Mexican.
Edit 3: dent several of your side panels on your pickup and take a wire wheel to the paint to authenticate the Mexican look.
Edit 4: have a rosary hanging from the mirror and a cassette tape playing of Selena.

Edit 5:

It's hit or miss around here. There are sections of highway where they're known to harass private vehicles. You'll hear about people getting busted, and then you won't hear anything for several years. NC has some goofy laws.

You have to get weighted tags for the max combined weight you'll ever pull, even if it's only once a year. I'm tagged for 14k because that's about the break point where the fees go up substantially. I'm usually over that when I tow my wheeling rigs, but I think the fine I might get once every few years is less than the registration fees. If I were to tow that heavy more often, I'd probably look at getting more legal.

Technically if your trailer is rated over 10k lbs, you need a non-cdl class A. Some people get them, most don't.

Technically if your GVWR is over 10k, you're supposed to cross the scales. Even if not commercial. I've never heard of anyone actually doing it nor getting stopped for not, but it's on the books and technically they could bust you for it if you passed a scale and didn't stop. I have avoided certain routes in the past because I didn't want to risk it.

I am sure there are similar laws around here, but until I am caught and cited the first time I’m just going to keep playing as smart and inconspicuous as I can to avoid contact. If I were in a heavy enforcement state I would probably have a different outlook. I see cops and sheriffs all the time pulling around with my flatbed 3500 and a skid or excavator on the trailer. None of them even give me a glance and it is a home built trailer without tags. It looks sturdy and safe and I am not driving like an asshole so I’ve never been pulled over. I’ve probably seen several highway patrol as well just not doing anything to stand out. now a DOT would be most likely fucked and put out out of service but I try not to drive where they are

this is how I am as well. but I live in a small town and lots of farmers running around here. I blend in with my tractor on the trailer and don't get fucked with. I am below 26k gross normally though so that does help i think?




Few years ago there was a DOT officer running around down by Clinton Mo checking plates and weights. Most of the Harry Homeowners down there were running 6k plates on their trucks. Hell an F150 with 4 people in it are probably overloaded. He was pulling everyone over puling any trailer at all. Lots of people got overweight tickets I was told. Harry Homeowner pulling his bass boat or garden tractor on a single axle trailer? bam..
