equipment on the farm is generally
getting older, equipmen. sales are
expected to continue strong
through the year. Zimmerman said

Farm truck owners, attempting to
get their vehicles in for inspec

delays. The 30-day grace period
will be a big help.”
Legislation passed in December
requires the heavier farm trucks
and truck-tractors that carry bien
nial certificates of exemption to
have the annual safety inspec
tions. The legislation (Act 115)
also increases the mileage radius
for off-farm travel by all exempt
farm trucks from 10 miles to 25
miles.
