Report mobile equipment, such as; implements of husbandry items, including but not limited to, tractors, harvesters, plows, shakers, backhoes, forklifts, crawler loaders, vehicle mounted portable wind machines, and related implements; and any other type of self-propelled or towed equipment that is not subject to DMV registration and licensing for highway use. For a comprehensive explanation of "Implements of Husbandry" see http://www.cfbf.com/storage/app/media/documents/agequipment.pdf.
List each item of machinery and equipment that you own. Equipment out on lease should not be included here; report such equipment per instructions on line 6. Include equipment acquired through a lease-purchase agreement at the selling price effective at the inception of the lease and report the year of the lease as the year of acquisition (if final payment has not been made, report such equipment in PART IV). If you own machinery and equipment at another location in this county and you did not receive a form for reporting equipment at that location, or if your equipment is temporarily outside the county, attach a schedule to this statement showing the location of the equipment and provide the information requested in this schedule. Report all machinery and equipment, whether fully depreciated or not, including implements of husbandry, special mobile equipment (SE Plates), and other vehicles exempt from licensing and registration under Division 16 of the Vehicle Code. Do not include licensed vehicles designed primarily for the transportation of persons or property on a highway.
The reported cost should include excise taxes, sales or use taxes, freight charges, and installation costs. If a trade-in was deducted, the amount to be entered is the invoice price (adding back the trade-in). Deductions for investment credits allowable for federal income tax purposes may not be taken and must be added back if deducted when the cost was entered on your books and records. Include expenses incurred immediately after purchase to bring a machine up to operable condition. As mentioned in Schedule C, the value of self-construction must be included.
