Can you drive a steel tread heavy equipment machinery on asphalt roads on the Big Island without plywood or rubber tires protecting the asphalt? If not what is the law
Wes. I surf the big island most years and can tell you there is no way under the moon and the stars they will permit you to run steel treaded equipment on an single inch of asphalt on the big island. Think about how nice Saddle Road is (200) going over Mauna Kea. How funky some of the roads are in Hilo. There is no way. Contact them yourself and comment us back.

are any special licensing or registration required?
This is a great idea as I have personally spent time in the islands and is a service that is needed. The dimensions you mention are legal but it’s always good to talk with the DOT and even develop a relationship with them in Maui. Click here for more info.
