Using tractors outside their normal environment is more common than it used to be with the speeds of 50kph and above. The big no no is using gas oil to do it.

 

I've had a summer job with our local authority grass cutting with their tractor for the last few years, in that time they've had to change over to run on Derv.

 

Yes and that is within the law but it's once you travel with a load that you could come unstuck
