Just seen this is it actually 100% legal or would you get pulled over all the time

Depends what you do with it don't think you'd be legal to carry stuff on the back of it as a tractor is to tow with

 

[Wellytrack]

I suppose you could use the platform to carry ballast to assist pulling the likes of what is pictured on it.

There was a thread on here awhile back about such setups. Believe its legal but there are restrictions.

 

[Barleycorn]

The seed dressing lorries and mill and mix lorries are registered as ag vehicles, but all the ones that have come here are plated, and the drivers got HGV licences, just for safety/ insurance reasons. They do run on red, and do not use a tachograph though.

Just a wheel tapper magnet .

 

[Andrew]

Would love to know how that managed to get plated as a tractor. Things like lime spreaders, seed dressing lorries can be converted but a standard flat?
Then you'd have the weight limit to contend with. I also seem to remember you can't carry and tow a load with a tractor but could be wrong.
I think you'd be pulled over too many times to be honest.

Stopped dealing with some of the local machinery dealers because they refused to sell him high value stuff for cash

Kell Machinery?
Up your way by the looks of it.
Wouldn't be the first time he's advertised things that are illegal on the road.

In the words of a DVSA officer ‘it does not matter what it is registered as’.

What’s the legal maximum length

 

[Andrew]

What’s the legal maximum length

I believe 12m (39'4") according to this:

The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 No. 1078

Table 1, 8b.
