Norm,

Keep in mind, pulling a trailer with an excavator, even a small one with a class 8 tractor will attract the unwanted attention of your friendly commercial vehicle enforcement officer. then you are messing with DOT numbers, insurance, CDL etc. Make sure you check you state requirements for commercial hauling.

With most states if the tractor is licensed as an RV (in Washington that means removing the commercial 5th wheel hitch, and having three out of 4 "living items" in the truck.. ie. bed, 120v power, sink, cooking etc.) then you can pull any recreational trailer without CDL.
