Sap Truck Registration
I have a 2500 gallon former milk truck that I'd like to put into use for hauling sap. It has no title. It currently needs a little work to get it running. The question is does this have to be licensed, etc.... with the state. It would be 100% used for hauling sap and not more than a couple miles away.
Currently in Wisconsin, truck mounted manure spreaders, exclusive potatoe trucks, truck mounted feed mixers, etc.. require no license/registration as they are considered an "implement of husbandry". Why could the same not apply here?? Maple sap is defined as "farm", "raw commodities", as it is not recognized when the state does the food safety inspection.
The other option is removing the tank and mounting it on a running gear of some sort and pull it with the tractor. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
