reg a 4x4 on agricultural

[wrsni]

As stated initially just SORN it and you can then legally run it on red no matter what it's classification.

 

Less hassle.

You have to use public roads to access different parts of land

where did this no motorway come from?, the restriction on motorways for agri machines is only if they cannot maintain a MINIMUM speed of 25mph, which means tractors, cos there limited to 20mph under the C&U Act, unless they have suspension on ALL wheels and brakes on ALL wheels, its the suspension bit that get the conventional tractor every time

 

Top honcho here at Vosa test station this morning said no agricultural vehicles of any sort are allowed on the motorways unless they are granted a special permission, he said that if a unimog is plated,in test, registered and taxed HGV then yes, he also said that run commercially it would be subject to the new drivers cpc and an o`license laws . He never mentioned fuel but did say that agricultural vehicle`s are afforded many concessions but the use of motorways is not one of them. He also said a lot of Mogs run through Guildford station for test and they are all classified HGV. In his mind there are no grey area`s its one or the other. He also said Vosa at Swansea would confirm this so feel free to drop them a line. In my mind stick to the A and B roads and avoid stirring up a can of worms for yourself, if you were pulled by this guy you will be in the dock.

Has anyone registered a dumper as an agri machine as I am looking for an easier way to take dumper and excavator to site rather than two separate journeys. Dumper is 4WD and would easily pull the 3 tonne excavator.
