Heavy and/or Farm Equipment and Snow Removal Equipment

Unread post by oopsie »

I've heard a lot of different views or opinions on this subject and was wondering what the truth is... Is it true that you don't need a driver's license to do snow removal with equipment (no trucks)? By equipment I mean loaders, graders, dozers, bobcats, holders, tractors, etc. One officer I asked couldn't find it. But said you HAD to be 16 so...
