It varies by state. 150 miles tends to be the norm, but it may be more or less, dependent on the state.

Can you drive a semi tractor trailer on private property without a CDL license non farm related work?
Only if the truck is plated as Farm Use, and the vehicle must be operated within 150 miles of the farm and be used exclusively for tasks related to farm work. Additionally, most states require that a non-CDL licenced operator of a farm vehicle which would otherwise require a CDL be either the farmer, an immediate family member, or an employee of that farmer. Additionally, some states may require that you obtain a non-CDL equivalent licence.
Does a farmer need air brakes to drive semis?
If it's a registered farm vehicle, then typically, no, although the licence requirements for vehicles exempt from CDL regulations vary between states - some states may require an upgraded non-CDL licence, and may require the air brakes test to be taken. If it's a commercial use vehicle, and not registered as a farm vehicle, then they would need a Class A CDL without an air brake restriction (there is no actual air brake endorsement).
Can i car be driven with a cdl permit?
Your CDL permit is in addition to the class of licence you had beforehand. So long as you were licenced to drive a car before you got your CDL permit, you can drive your own car while you possess a CDL permit.
If you buy a tri axle dump truck in Illinois and are driving it back to Massachusetts under a farm license plate do you need a CDL to drive it?
If the gross vehicle weight rating of the truck is 26,001 pounds or more, you need a CDL to operate it on the public highways. Since it's not a combination vehicle, a Class B CDL will do fine. Additionally, farm licence plates are only valid when operated by the farmer who registered the vehicle under those plates, their immediate family, or employees of that farmer, and only within a 150 mile radius of their farm. Not only would it be illegal for you to operate that vehicle without a CDL, but your use of a farm licence plate to transport it more than 150 miles from that farm (as well as not being a family member or employee of that farmer) is highly illegal.
Do farmers need a cdl license in Arkansas?
Registered farm vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements. However, the state gains jurisdiction over licencing requirements at that point. So, as long as you're operating a registered farm vehicle within the limitations of its allowed use, you don't need a CDL, but you'll probably still have to upgrade your licence to some sort of enhanced non-CDL licence.
Do you need cdl in Ohio to drive semi for farmer?
If it's a registered farm vehicle, with farm tags, and it is only used in support of the operations of that farm, and you stay within the distance you're permitted to drive from that farm, and you're a direct employee of that farmer, then no, you're not required to have a CDL. Registered farm vehicles operating under those conditions are exempt from CDL requirements. However, the state of Ohio has jurisdiction for licencing requirements at that point, and you need to check with the DMV to see what their non-CDL licencing requirements are for an exempt tractor-trailer. They might have a system in place where they offer non-CDL equivalents to Class A and B CDLs, or they might have a "chauffeur licence" system with endorsements for tractor-trailers.
Does a farmer in Ohio need CDL license to drive tandem truck?
If it's a registered farm vehicle which belongs to them, then no, although Ohio may still have their own special licencing requirements for them to possess an upgraded non-CDL licence. If the vehicle is not registered as a farm vehicle, and isn't a type exempted from CDL requirements under FMCSR (recreational vehicles, firefighting/first response apparatus, etc.) then yes, they will.
