Aff ected By Law
The licensing of farm trailers
has been affected by recent leg-
islative action. This new law
applies to farm trailers and
semi-trailers ywith a gross
weight exceeding 4000 pounds
and it is effective now.
Farm trailers with a gross
weight between 4000 pounds
and -10000 pounds are exempt
from the regular expensive
full license fee. However they
are required to be registered
and licensed at a fee of five' dol-
lars. Trailers over 10000 pounds
must be registered at the regu-
lar license fee rate which is
much more expensive than the
rate mentioned above. Those
trailers not exceeding 4000
pounds gross vehicle rate are
exempt from license and regis-
tration. This law applies to both
farmers and ginners.
The law also provides for saf
ety features which will be en
forced. Trailers weighing from
4000 to 10000 pounds are re-
stricted to 30 miles per hour
speed limit. Adequate safety
hitches are required which in
clude pinned or locked hitches.
Reflectors and lights .must be
present and operative
The Department of Public
Safety warns that 'gins can lose
heir exemptions if they put
-heir trailers out for hire or
harge farmers for their use.
They can also lose their exemp-
tion by allowing them to exceed
the speed limit not having an
adequate hitch or not having
operating lights and reflectors.
Grain sorghum harvest will
be starting in a few days end
farmers will want to get trailers
licensed before the liarvst season.
