Chipper registration in NJ?

[fastbub]

Does anyone on here in NJ know about registration for chippers? I purchased a Vermeer BC625A in PA. The place I bought it from thought no registration or plates were necessary. I have run without for 9 months or so. I used to rent one from a place in NJ and it didn't have a plate on it either. Anyone know what the deal is in NJ?

we don't need plates in ohio, but they manufacture them with plate mounts and lights, so i assume some states require it.

you need plates for the chipper, you'll need a CO or title for it and register it with the vin and gvw.

In Wisconsin we need to register, also if you tow a trailer with a vehicle with your business on it you need a DOT number. Pete

When I lived in NY we didn't have to have the chipper or stumper registered as they both were listed on the NYS form as "agricultural equipment" but here in Vermont I had to register them both but it was only around $40. a piece(truck registrations however are through the roof in VT). I believe any commercial motor vehicle from 10,000lb GVW and above requires a DOT number. Don't get sucked in by those companies charging $500. and up to get you the DOT number you can do it on line yourself for FREE! It takes less than half an hour to get yourself registered.
