We own a farm in western North Carolina and a roade sperates the 2 farms what would I have to do to be able to drive between the 2 I am 15 and if I get cought they will take my permit and not let me drive till I am 18 plus they take the 4-wheeler. I seen one guy say that all he had to do in maine was put a Triangle caoution sighn and they said he could drive on the road. If you don't know the answer where do you think I could find out the answer I looked on the internet but can't find any thing thinks for any help

sorry about the spelling in LA class

 

That's a tough question because of your age. Here in Iowa you would register your 4 wheeler for farm use, and then you can ride it between farms but I don't know about your age. But here if you register for farm use I don't believe you can ride it in public riding areas.

I would put a call into your county courthouse and ask them or the DNR would probably be able to answer your questions.

 

In PA., you would also have to register (a new quad) for farm or business use. This means that the atv would not be licensed to use on public land. I would think that a "triangle caution sign" would be a good idea. This would tell the police that this piece of equipment is used for farm work. So they would be less likely to think that you're just a kid out joy riding. (Even if you are.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

 

here in Missouri we just ride our atvs from farm to farm ou local at state cops wont give us a ticket as long as we are using them for farm use but if were not well big trouble

 

Just remember to keep it under 35 MPH with the orange triangle in back. That is a special 'farm safety' symbol for farm use only machines, and you are exempt from needing a license or registration provided you are using it for farm use, and traveling under 35 MPH. However, if you get caught ripping around with one of those, the punishment can be quite stiff.

Farmr

 

I work evenings and weekends for a farmer here in KS and we ride 4-wheelers about everywhere we want to. He lives about 6 miles from town but has land up to 20 miles away. If we only need to go 5 or 6 miles away we will ride, longer distances we'll trailer them but the sherrifs don't seem to mind when we meet them every so often. As long as you aren't riding stupid they will just wave.

 

How far apart are the two farms, I mean unless its a busy road the chances of you getting caught are pretty slim. I ride on the roads by my place all the time and I've never even seen a cop. If its a rural road I wouldn't even worry about it.

 

I did some looking and found the rules If you are NC and own a farm this should work for you the road is traveled by alot of people but is still a 2 lane road I only go on it if I have to but since I am geting my permit to drive. I didn't wont to get them taken away for something dumb thanks for all of the help
