I guess my explanation wasn't clear. According to the county, licensing this truck on a farm tag for 48000 lbs is legal. I have the tag. According to the state DL regs, and the HP inspector at the DMV, it is legal to drive a farm vehicle at this weight with a regular DL. My only "victory" was...

Update for anyone in KS who might be interested. If you keep asking questions, you may get the answer you want. Don't actually know how the law reads, but the county registered this truck for me as a 48K lb farm vehicle. As a farm vehicle, I can drive it on a standard KS driver's license...
