I was using my landrover and a trailer. I live about 20 minutes from
Canada so we cross the border more then most people in the states
(casinos are on the opposite side). Hauling large equipment is taken
pretty seriously by the customs / border guys. At one point coming
back they escorted my family and I out of the vehicle right at the
customs both (this was when I was hauling the DG equipment back).
They brought us inside while they took the rover and equipment over to
do an inspection on it.
You can do it, I just don't know how much it's worth the trouble. I
don't think I would do it again unless the equipment was pretty rare
or pretty expensive.

It's a big hassle. I
brought some DG equipment across about 2 years ago. You also have to
cross at the truck bridges.
I'd suggest that you talk to Dan Cohoe.
He's made several trips bringing things both ways across the border,
and
said that he usually gets through without any questions. Generally,
once the customs agents see how old the things are, they realize how
worthless they are now. ;)
I guess it'd probably be different if you were driving a semi, though.
