As long as it is under 2.45 metres wide and not a turntable tpye trailer then you are allowed to drive it at 16. As long as it is classed as agri vehicle you can drive it, 50k and fastracs come under the same rules.

 

I now have a full licence but for the past two years i have been driving tractors on the road, never been stopped or questioned on weights etc.

every piece of information i have ever found regarding this says its tractors not agri vehicles all though classed as the same thing for tax they are different by dvla standards the same as road rollers are different to construction machinery for some reason and have different driving rules as do "special vehicles"

its the width and axle layout that affects the trailers aswell

when are more folk going to realise, there are only 2 types of tractor, those restricted to 20mph, and those not, ie fast track and unimog. the law is very clear on this, if your tractor does NOT have suspension on all 4 wheels, its restricted to 20mph, just about every tractor in the uk irrespective of whether it can do 40, 50, or even now 60kph, they are by law only allowed to do 20mph on the public road.
