Recommended Posts

We run a u1250. It has a pto chipper and chip box. It is registered and taxed as an agricultural vehicle. It is used for domestic arb jobs.

 

Can anyone answer two questions:

 

Can we run it on red fuel ? (Currently running it on white)

 

Can we drive it on car licence with no tachometer ?

 

I've heard so many conflicting opinions/interpretations on this subject. It would be great if someone actually knows the answer.

 

Many thanks

If its domestic run on white, for agricultural or forestry and roadside trees (local authority work) you can use red, car license is ok as its agricultural.

 

So you cant use the agricultural exemption for fuel because you aren't engaged in agriculture.

 

But you can use the agriculture registration for driving because you aren't engaged in agriculture???????????????????????

Seems clear enough re use and fuel to use, the vehicle is ag reg hence car licence

as its not being used for one of the exemptions allowed, must use white fuel, also the driver, with a full licence must be over 21, as the mogs fall into the larger class of tractor licencsing(yes there is an age limit)

That's great.... Glad we haven't risked it on red. Also glad we bought it now, although it's a bit pricey on fuel it handles everything we can throw at it (we've been killing our 3 and 1/2 trucks and we are perpetually overweight with chipper) and once we've had it sign written it should draw some business..... One more thing........can we drive it on the motorway????!!

Thanks for the help guys!!

any vehicle than can exceed a minimum speed of 25mph is allowed on the motorway, the ruling saying no tractors was changed some years ago(tractors, farm ones with no suspension on the back axles are restricted to 20mph by the road traffic act)
