Registering Tractor

[Ty Unnos]

As I understand it a tractor can be:

 

1. road registered. Which means it has V5, license plate, tax disc and can drive on the road. It can only run on white diesel. Does it need an MOT?

 

2. agri registered. Which has free tax disc, license plate? V5? No MOT and can drive on the road under some circumstances. It can run on red diesel.

 

3. not be registered at all. No V5, No Tax Disc, No MOT and can only drive off road or on the back of a trailer. Can it be run on red diesel?

 

Can someone help correct my assumptions and fill in the blanks. Cheers.

The use of red diesel is governed by what you are doing with the vehicle rather than your registration.

 

You cant carry goods on red

you cant "road register" a tractor, it cant be mot tested as it doesnt comply with most of the requirments of the construction and use act, it can only be registered as a tractor, or an agricultural machine, check the goverment website, as for the use of red, depending on the job, or use, to which the vehicle is being put, dictates whether you can, or cant use red on the public highway, of road, you can use what you like, and, unless your "tractor" has suspension on each of its wheels, you are limited to 20mph, irespective of what anyone may "quote" it can do...road traffic act ...
