Only to taken it to your yard but you carnt then hall it back out as logs to a paying cliant

 

Nope, for agricultural use it needs to be from your land to your land

How do Ag contractors get away with it then???

[treequip]

They dont get away with much, not any more they dont.

 

Have a look at the fastracks running on the A1 all "O" licenced up and tacho fitted

[skyhuck]

My local farmer has contractors who come in to make silage and spread slurry, they run on red, but none of it "their land" and its certainly "hire and reward".

[fergusonforestry]

oh you don't want to do that

[treequip]

Silage is made in a field and spreading is done in a field, thats OK on red

 

If you dont want to take my word for it call HMCE yourself and ask them if what you are doing is OK, you wont like the answer.

[fergusonforestry]

jus cos yer ag reg'd don't mean you have to be running on red

[skyhuck]

Silage is made in a field and spreading is done in a field, thats OK on red

 

 

Yes but they drive on the road to the land he had in different places.

[treequip]

jus cos yer ag reg'd don't mean you have to be running on red

 

Quite right, BUT it is the main factor in most peoples decision making

[treequip]

Yes but they drive on the road to the land he had in different places.

 

So if some are "getting away with it" does that make it right?

 

Do what I said and call HMCE. Ask them if its OK
