A covered farm vehicle is:
Operated by the owner or operator of a farm or ranch, or an employee or family member of an owner or operator of a
farm or ranch;
Used to transport agricultural commodities, livestock, machinery or supplies to or from a farm or ranch;
Not used in for-hire motor carrier operations; however, for-hire motor carrier operations do not include the operation by
a tenant pursuant to a crop share farm lease agreement to transport the landlord's portion of the crops under that agreement.
A covered farm vehicle may not transport hazardous materials in an amount that requires placarding.
Exemptions
A person operating a covered farm vehicle is exempt from the following requirements:
Holding a commercial driver license
Federal controlled substances and alcohol use and testing
Medical certification requirements
Hours of service requirements
Federal inspection, repair and maintenance requirements
A covered farm vehicle weighing more than 26,000 pounds may be operated only in New York State, within 150 air miles
from the farm or ranch. A covered farm vehicle weighing 26,000 pounds or less, may be operated anywhere within the United
States. However, before operating outside of New York State, consult with other states to determine whether they recognize
the covered farm vehicle designation.
If the covered farm vehicle weighs more than 26,000 pounds, the operator of the vehicle must have an F or G endorsement on
his or her NYS license.
The covered farm vehicle designation must be kept in the motor vehicle at all times and produced to a law
enforcement official upon request.
