The problem is simple remove the Non-exempt tax. I travel the US During the winter Months, Our Machines Are Mountain sleds, They are built and used for Back Country Riding (Mountain Climbing). All States we need to purchase NON- Resident Permits $30/40. 00 Per Machine,On top of that You must pay the road use Tax Per gallon, Snowmobiles GPM 8/15, On our 1st trip of the year is to West Yellowstone MT we have have a group of up to 15 Machines, So we group purchased our fuel, 100-180 gallons per day, I filed for the refund $480. 00,Guess what denied BC of Non-resident, MT Non-Residents Cannot Purchase Residents License, So The GOV is making the avenue available to purchase the RD fuels, of coarse human will abuse the exemption, Everyone should pay the tax and file for exemption,Just think this would remove law enforcement time and resources which could be better spent.

MN Law requires even Snowmobiles that ARE In storage to Pay MN Lic or placed in storage end user. So our Machines are in trailers always consider to be in transit, Our Machines have Never Been operated In MN, but still MN wants its Lic fee's its BS.

HB, MN will your Tax Kubota if it found to be used for private or Non-farm use,So In Mn you would be violating the Law,thats how sick the tax laws are here.

HBARLOW, Like you, I have a Kubota tractor (M7040). I usually keep the old military fuel cans for it. I don't use enough to justify buying in bulk. The local oil distributor (SHell) told me they would do the 55 gallon drums of ORD if I wanted to buy a pump and drum. So far, I'm just staying with the cans. They are a PITA but handling a 55 gal drum is tough.

Alan,

An M70 is about three times the tractor my little Kubota is. Mine is a B2920. It is four wheel drive, hydrostatic drive, and perfect for my little five acre place in the country. It burns hardly any diesel at all compared to what your M70 must use.

Bill Stockard has an L50 or maybe L40 and a farm fuel transfer tank intended for a pickup mounted on a flatbed utility trailer with a pump. He pulls his trailer into town when he needs fuel and fills the transfer tank then pumps it to his tractor. I looked Bill's handy rig over and thought about it but I don't burn enough diesel in a normal summer to need even that much transport and storage capacity. I just use five gallon diesel jugs.

Mine was a 2WD and used to bush hog and scrape the gravel driveway. And take kids on wagon rides in the fall.

That's a Kubota M7040? I thought this was a Kubota M7040.

Now we have Kubota envy. I'm gonna lose this fight.....

Oh no, that tractor isn't mine! I was mistaken. Alan Regan has a M70 series and it thought it a large tractor to be carrying 5-gallon cans of fuel to it. I have a 110 gallon truck tank mounted on a trailer with an electric pump, water block filter, long fill hose and nozzle for filling my Kubotas... a L3830 and a RTV900. In a normal year I fill it three times in a year. With this year's severe drought, I have only filled it once.



Bill

 

[Alan Reagan]

Yep. The big one is the M7040 all right. I don't take just one can. I take three. Same here on the drought. I haven't used that much this year. I usually fill up at 1/4 tank and that's about 10 gallons to top it off.

and when I came out, there was a DOT guy with my fuel door open and cap off checking for the red dye.

Around my area, that DOT guy may just have gotten his wig adjusted by some folks... ... .....

 

[HBarlow]

Those samplers may be ordinary state troopers or other officers with similar authority. Adjusting their wigs might put a guy in handcuffs pretty quickly and facing assault of a state officer charges.
