In NY firewood trucks are exemt from weight laws (no one is exempt from bridge laws). It's a form of fuel. A logging operation on the other hand is not exempt. Common sense must prevail . If a road is already torn up ,it's best not to tear it up more or you'll be getting a call from the road supervisor.
! I am so happy with it.

Around here they are called frost laws. On the books it is March through May, but each county actually calls their own. I do not expect them to stay on long this spring though.
Not really a mud season here in Southern New England....and I'm glad. The snow is mostly gone, and I can walk on the grass and mulch - of course, it helps that we have all paved roads and driveways!
We've got mud here. As said above, I have to wait until the roads reopen to trucks to get my grapple load. But, I'll take mud over snow right now.

You want mud take a ride on some of the dirt roads in the hilltowns. My driveway is still muddy on the edge but it's a perfect time to get some of the large boulders out of the wheel ruts. they almost pop out when you dig with the loader bucket. Was going to grade this week end but now they are talking heavy rain so I'll just wait till it dries. Overall not much frost in the ground this year because of the snow cover. We only had to walk in 3 or 4 times because of mud.
yeah, my grapple load wont get here until May I would expect. But, I ahve about 2 cord leftover and plenty of half downed or downed hardwoods, mostly cherry on my property that I will take care of until I get the rest
