Tractor license test

So I’ve got a vintage 1 ton dumper (little thing) that I’ve registered as Agri vehicle with dvla. And I’d like to take my f license on it as I am 16.
However this dumper is very rudimentary. It is hand start, has no indicators or mirrors at all. Is that alright for my test?

As Apprentices we all had to take a dumper test on something that sounds very similar to what you have. Pull the lever and it tips type of machine.
A sensible training venue will certainly be able to offer you a ‘dumper-test’.
I would look to doing a five ton or larger test then you will be covered to use site sized machinery in the NPORS or CPCS world which, in the long run may be very useful in earning £’s if you are in that world.
Plus entitling you to drive your little Petter powered machine.

There must be guidelines to tell you. I'd doubt it.
No joke, didn’t take my license on the first test 🤔
Third time lucky?

Although your dumper is taxed agricultural fairly certain you cannot drive it on the road with an F licence. So I do not believe it can be used to take your tractor driving test.
