Yes you must register it to use in MA. Or it is towed away and you are
charged.

Fortunately we don't get a lot of cement mixers from GA here. No state is
required to honor the vehicle code of another state. They do on a voluntary
case by case basis of reciprocity. Some states honor most everything some
do not. AAA puts out a nice handbook for traveller who wish to travel to
foreign states from their own and lists all the different rule and laws they
will be responsible for.

And if the state does not issue a tag for "equipment drawn as a trailer"
like a log splitter or a cement mixer, then what's the person supposed to
do? Register it outside of the scope of law of his or her own state? If mass
required that all drivers have a Massachusetts license to operate a vehicle
in Massachusets, then they'd eventually find themselves unable to drive in
other states.
