boss at work hauling wood

[ArlyA]

We trimmed back a bunch of dead branch's in our yard over the weekend and loaded them onto our 14ft trailer, then shuttled them to the cities compost dump which might be 8 blocks away from our home. Driving an ATV's in town here is not legal here but it being Sunday and a short distance away,, we took the chance. The load might have been 1500lb gross but the 6x6 handled it fine.

I thought most anything was legal up in your neighborhood.

Ehh....if worried about legality (and you're not!) put an orange triangle on the back of it and you're good to go.

"Agricultural" includes forest management too!

Thanks Coby, I suspect that might have made it legal. Nonetheless a drive to a hardware store, would have taken longer, than simply dumping the slash off..... Maybe I should pick one up for us, next time we're there.

You mean like this;

I do have to watch the speed sometimes as it's not legal here over 35 mph :thumbsup:

Yea a lot of switches, 2wd or 4wd, front diff lock, rear diff lock, high lo headlights, directionals, 4 way flashers, all steel no plastic, been good so far :thumbsup:

Maybe I should quantify my "street ATV riding is illegal" here. It is legal to drive yours to the ATV trails, but not within the city in general.. Its a city ordinance but I would guess that going to the compost dump with a load of wood, would be overlooked anyway.

 

[K man]

Here it is legal to drive side x side on the streets if you have a horn, signal lights, brake lights, plated and insured.

 

[ArlyA]

Here in the states, whats legal to have on the road varies much between cities, county and states.

 

[EddieWalker]

Thats pretty cool. Sometimes I wish that I lived in a city that I could do stuff like that.

Over the weekend, we cut and hauled much slash to the compost station. One of these loads really made the Boss grunt while going up hills....

 

[EddieWalker]

Do you have to wear a helmet to drive it on the roads? I've never actually seen anybody do that before. Just on the commercials on TV

 

[ArlyA]

I'm not really sure but I would guess it is MI law. Doesn't make any difference to me, after spending thousands of hours wearing them at work, why stop now?
