Could a lorry be an Agriculutral vehicle?

[Headless chicken]

On the look out for a water bowser and or a slurry tanker…… can buy a sensible looking rigid lorry for sub 10k which is competitive with the above.
Any idea if it can be reclassified? Wouldn’t be going more than 5 miles from base. Don’t fancy the cost of inspections and Trainning if it can be helped

Thinking about it if it was 4x4 you’d stand a better chance of getting classes as agri

I have one here which I would convert into a self loading bale carrier if it could be run as agricultural, so following with interest.

we can quote for a bowser tank if required to go onto a flat bed trailer

Now Then..
I believe it's possible but it's speed has to be restricted to around 40Mph. There'll be other modifications too I assume..

That wouldn’t be an issue as it’s still faster than a tractor and would be designed for the job

If it’s only going to be water I’d consider sliding a tank into a tipping trailer. A lorry is better fir the road but once your in a field your either making a pile of ruts and compaction or going home from fear of getting stuck. Then put the money you’ve saved towards your next tractor with a 50kmh box. We run lorries fir moving grain off the fields, it’s quicker in dry weather but if the fields are soft it’s not much use. Then a chaser wagon has to move it all to the roadside.

I'm pretty certain the local mill and mix setups are run as agricultural, which are pretty newish lorries but because of the mills obviously can't be used for any non agricultural use.I am not sure whether you need a hgv licence to drive them

They use tracked dumpers now with rotating bodies, tipped on hard standing into a conveyor loading an artic

There's a ford cargo tractor unit near here with a tractor hitch aswell as the fifth wheel coupling and back wheels from ( I think ) a fastrack. That's officially a tractor but he looks like he's doing more than 40 mph

What's @Cab-over Pete s zetros class as? Was it officially a lorry to start with?

I know, but thought the details would help headless chicken

I know some people that run small lorries set up for sheep shearing . They are classed as agricultural and can run on red diesel .

I’m sure the volumetric concrete lorries run on red, but that’s not to say they are classed as agricultural though.
Also mobile seed cleaning lorries.

With the construction industry about to come off red , that loophole will end shortly I would think ….?
