red diesel the law.

Not worth the hassle even though I am a farmer my MB Trac I use for forwarding is always run on white and jobs priced accordingly ie £15 + vat fuel charge in addition to daily rate.

£350 sounds like a bargain after some of the stories I've heard in the past.

I know a few people who run mogs on red and one has a old Bedford truck, it's a 5 tonner which has a crane arm, been replated as a crane so he runs on red no probs.

 

It does sound like you got of lightly, strange how they appeared out of the blue though

The fine was only £350 could have been a lot more... the trees were roadside and we don't have a chipbox on the mog. The owner does honestly as do i believe he has done no wrong.

 

I wasn't asking other owners to say yes I am using red when I shouldn't I am just curios who believes they are legal when they might not be.

The irony of it is that the two gents were looking for a farm when they saw us and decided to have a closer look but both of them didn't know the law on this vehicle.

 

Many years ago we were working near a hospital, two HSE guys suddenly appeared on site asking questions. They had been to the hospital to interview a worker who had been injured at work, saw us and just decided to check us out.

 

Fortunately they were happy with us.

Exactly.

If they the "professionals" in this field dont know the law, how do we have any chance?

Reading the link above leads me to believe that you should appeal. Roadside trees are clearly ok.

I know ag contractors that now only run on white due to doing mixed work of hauling and field work because of the grey areas
