Wisconsin IoH bill headed to governor’s desk

The Wisconsin State Senate, concurring with changes made by the Assembly two weeks ago, passed the Implements of Husbandry bill on Tuesday sending the legislation to the Governor Walker for his signature. The bill would, among other things, increase the gross weight for farm equipment on roadways to 92,000 pounds with no more than 23,000 pounds per axle

There is a provision to allow tillage, planting and harvesting equipment to exceed 23,000 pounds per axle weight. Towns and counties have the authority to adopt a resolution or an ordinance to establish a local permitting process to issue no-fee permits for approved routes for tillage, planting and harvesting equipment.
