Pennsylvania double-tow

[Back2PA]

I checked the gelding's GCVWR and harness weight limits, all was in order. However lighting on the TV and trailers was inop.

I also don't see any brakes on either trailer. And I'm pretty sure you going to need anti sway on that setup.

Brings up questions about what laws actually apply to the Amish, etc who share the road with them.

Grew up in Williamsport and knew you really had to be careful on the backroads.

They are required to display the triangular farm vehicle reflective sign and lights at night

I'd say it is over weight and under powered with only a 1 hp engine.

I've seen farm tractors towing multiple hay wagons on rural roads a number of times in NY and PA. Just as the overwide rules are different for farm equipment versus commercial traffic, I suspect the "double tow" rules are as well.

But it seems to be geared down enough that the 1HP is adequate for slow speed towing.  :

At least it is 4 hoof drive.

It's got a Jake brake too.......

as long as Jacob pulls on it.

You're right, as long as he stays off the interstate highways.

Does anyone know the MPB on a rig like that....That's miles per Bale

Darned if I know but you can probably figure it out from the exhaust emissions.  That's how EPA does their city/highway milage ratings.

Exhaust Emissions...Would that count as Afterburner?

It only took the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 to drag PA into allowing doubles, then only on certain parts of the Interstate.
