Is your mog taxed as Agricultural?

[YoGi_93]

''If the Unimog is taxed agricultural then it can be driven on a normal UK driving licence. Special licences may be needed for Unimogs in other taxation classes.''

 

Thats what it says on the Atkinson Vos site, does this basically mean its similar to a tractor in that it can be driven without HGV licences?

 

Do any of you lads do that?

For a Unimog to be classed as an Agg vehicle it must have a three point linkage and PTO , and idealy it would have been registered as agg when it left the show room . There is much much mor to it than that but if you are looking for an agg mog then try to make sure that it is a genuine agg machine and if possible not on a Q plate .

 

My mog is a genuine Agg machine and is taxed as an agg machine so yes we drive it on a standard licence . Hope this helps

Mine is ag, it isnt used much contracting and it is within a few miles of my yard. I also do firewood from Trees on the land which i have my yard, so there is proof of Ag and Forestery.

 

I had to prove this to NFU before they would allow it to be insured this way

try and prove that a mog running without pto or three point linkage is an agg vehicle . this information was given to me by our local VOSA inspector . otherwise almost every mog could be classed as agg could it not ?

The chippers run off 3 point linkage dont they? So if the mog ran a chipper then it could be taxed as agri?

Sort of , chippers can be mounted on either a three point linkage or a din plate , my first post was probably somewhat simple , basicy to genuinely register a mog as agg you need to prove that its purpose is aggricultural/ forrestry led and that you are not carrying loads for hire or reward , many mogs are not agg spec and therefore require an opperators licence etc , an agg mog would have a pto , three point linkage (rear) and hyd services . thus making it a tractor .

 

Anyway hope this helps , im not always too great at wrighting what im thinking

what about a crop sprayer they are agg and dont have pto or linkage ?
