[whippet 99 2,613]

does any one know the procedures for registering a quad as agricultural use......

i know you dont have to tax them.......how much does it cost or any information would be great...........

hopefully i will have some feed back, i tried google and got different things but dont know if there up to date with the law...................

many thanks

Get in touch with the NFU, you may have to join,they will insure it for agri use which means you can cross road or use it to access land,not sure of the full proccedure

you still need a v5 and number plates on it,lights ,etc,better off buying one all ready to go.

As fare as I know, you dont need lights and number plates for agri use if that was the case,most of the tractors around here would be scapped,but it needs to be serviceable,

my quad is agri,its got number plates,and lights,no need mot and free tax disk also must be insured and your restricted to how many miles you use it and the distance from your boundary.i have fitted a front number plate and indicators so if im miles from home it looks like a real road legal set up so dont get a tug

As Qbgrey says must have plate lights etc then its needs to be taken SVA centre for VOSA to check and clear it meets the standards but just because a quad or tractor is registered for agri use still means you need insurance which isnt cheap as there such a high risk item.

 

I trailer mine ever where as its cheaper than insuring it for road use.
