This bit might be an issue if you need to road register an older vehicle that has not been registered before.

 

1.8 For those registering fast tractors, the requirement for type approval will take effect from 1 January 2018. It will also apply for tractors entering into service after this date that are not registered for road use.

 

Or this for quads etc

 

clarification that “side-by-side” utility vehicles and all-terrain vehicles (ATV, “quad bikes”) can be approved as tractors. Depending on their construction some of these vehicles may 11 instead be approved under the new Motorcycle Framework, EU Regulation 2013/168.

 

Or this bit re existing fast tractors (poss some Mogs?) 

 

1.26 The Department recently consulted on a new requirement affecting certain fast tractors in use, rather than new fast tractors: this is an annual roadworthiness testing scheme for fast tractors (capable of exceeding 25mph) used for commercial haulage and other nonagricultural purposes, as part of implementing new EU rules on 15 annual roadworthiness testing. For more details of this please see:  https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/roadworthinesstesting-for-fast-tractors-and-other-technical-changes-to-vehicletesting

 

 

This is an important clarification,

For the purpose of this consultation the following categories have been considered. These are the same as the categories specified in Article 4 of 167/2013. Trailers and trailed equipment are considered agricultural if they are mainly designed to be towed by a tractor. (A trailer designed to be towed by a Land Rover, for example, is not categorised as an agricultural trailer in this context).

 

So virtually all sub 3500kg trailers are not covered.
