Not in Colorado you don't they were pissed and wrote me a nice one for the same deal with the blade off a 9N on the trailer with the dozer Had a fight with the owner over the deal he paid the fine thank you lord. JOHNDEERE4020 it is legal in many states .I sometimes forget the members are all over the country or world for that matter.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. As the Indiana D.O.T. told me many years ago as he was happily stamping "VOID" on my overweight permit many, many years ago, "if it CAN be reduced, it MUST be reduced." Then it was off under police escort (2 cars) to the towing impound yard to remove my blade and push arms to go on another truck. It cost me a bunch of money, but I learned my lesson, never did it again. And I was only 83,000 gross. End of story.
The point of the forum isn't to make friends, it's partly to share information and experiences with other in the industry and perhaps help them out. If my past experiences can help someone from getting a ticket, getting hurt, or losing a bunch of money, then a post has served a useful purpose. Thanks...
