Legal or not

Can anybody tell me if this is legal or not, registered as a tractor and can be driven on a standard car licence?Seen it for sale on the Internet

Farmer near me has 2 six wheel drive ex army trucks for fetching bales in. One is a wagon and drag like your picture, the other is an artic unit with the trailer on a fifth wheel.
When looking, he told the company selling them, that he would have them as long as the seller could get the taxation class changed to tractor.
This they did, and he loves them.
Really not sure how they get away with the articulated unit !!

Very true. I think they’re pushing it with the fifth wheel one for Ag work.
