VOSA told us about the exclusion but said it would only apply to equipment not logs, you can carry unsplit rings or pulp back to the yard ok but once its split down to logs the exclusion no longer applies.

You need to stand your ground with VOSA. They tried the same argument with me on delivering plants to Chelford market. Fortunately when they checked back to the VOSA test station the agricultural exemption was logged and I already gave them proof of my agricultural holding CPH number.

 

Most annoying part was the two hours wasted arguing my point by which time I missed the auction sales I went for so returned home empty.

I spoke with a friend of mine who is a retired police constable. He spoke a traffic officer on my behalf today. The officer indicated that I would not be required to have a tacograph. My business is part of a farm with forestry activities so perhaps this makes me exempt. Deliveries must be kept within 100km though.
