PO70ATO assigning it to a tractor

[agricontract]

I have that reg on retention I bought it to sell on tbh But ...
I’ve spent last few years looking for a nice reg on a classic tractor or something with my initials so I could put log book in my name make some plates up for all the machines/trailers and not have to keep swopping and make in new plates up as I change tractors
I can’t find one so I believe I can assign it to a tractor from new but I’d then have to keep tractor as it would be stuck on it for ever . So should I buy the cheapest smallest tractor or quad I can , register it with that number plate from new and then put that on back of all my stuff
If so what’s cheapest new tractor I can get before 1st March
Or is it possible to put it on a ag quad ?

You have ten yrs to buy a car etc

Agree - but check whether it can ever be transferred off from an ag vehicle once registered.

Or put that plate on a tractor, quad etc, dumper that never goes on the road - and then sell it for real to someone on its retention

Can not be transferred from an agricultural vehicle

To move a plate a vehicle needs a valid MOT.

God knows why as I have a plate worth 3k on a tractor

The local black Claas tractor is actually running on a private plate if you look.

Yes

Saw your bit on the TV when the presenter picked up on the plate. Thought it was odd that you would have put it on the Merlo as you wouldn’t be able to move it again and had lost the value.
By the way you did a great job on the footpath piece

I don't think you can transfer a reg number to a vehicle older than the year of issue of the plate.

Correct, you may not assign a plate to a vehicle to make it appear younger than it is.

We have an old Massey 65 bought new in 1958, use it's number for all the ag trailers as it's in the shed and will never be sold. On DVLA database, and I think taxed.

Must go on a vehicle registered after the date of licence plate issue.
once on a tractor, always on a tractor.
suspect some potato baron would pay good money for it to go there new RR

technically If you follow the rules and register your Range Rover sport SVR on limited ag use then you could put it on that.....

I used to have DIG (cant remember the numbers) on the harvester tractor

You sure? Because you could then revert to standard use

Know of a farmer who had his initials on his tractor.
Only because you are given a list when registering a vechile from new.

I suppose if you wanted to put a tractor through a MOT or change it to a HGV it would be doable?

No other way of doing it from what I can see
