towing allowed for: farming rolling stock only

the type of farming machinery referred to here is soil working/cropping machinery with wheels but no automotive power like that of a tractor.

Considering the field entry itemization of the Japanese driver's license mentioned (with 免許の条件等 in the left margin), "allowed for" is redundant and unnecessary here.
Discussing the term contents with Kurt, we have agreed to settle for: "farming vehicles".
How about we split this Kudoz, if nothing better comes up? :-)
Example sentence:

Triple towing is allowed in the following states: Alaska; Arizona; Arkansas ...

agree Kurt Hammond : Not so sure about the unpowered part of this answer - search Google images for 農耕車 and most of them have engines. Based on this I think it means that towing is only allowed by tractors: http://www.tokamachi-ds.com/bunner/noukou.html

Your point is convincing. Most of those presented by Google Images under this tag are 'tractors'. Yet, 農耕車 is a generic term which includes a wide variety of farming dedicated vehicles (motorized and specialised trailers). 'Farming vehicles' then
Something went wrong...
