I think your wrong on legal requirement. Loler is a statutory regulation just like ssafo.LOLER is specifically for lifting equipment such a tail lifts on lorries.
Tractor 3pl, tractor FEL, tipping trailers etc are part of the machine and daily inspections (like you all do!) will cover them.
Most LOLER inspections are not a legal requirement but are insisted on by insurers.
I am getting somewhere now and my consultant has gone out the yard with enough pushback from me to look at it further and as others have said Loler is necessary to operate anything with an SWL. A telehandler will come with one and a fel can have it's worked out from the manual.
At no point do the regulations excuse agriculture.
