Looking at Diversifying my small contracting business, got me thinking what can a tractor be used For apart from agriculture.



Construction sites

Harvesting Christmas trees

Snowploughing



What else?

If everyone knew the answer to that ;)

TBH most eventualities are already well covered off season. I’d advise parking it up and driving something else on a site over winter.

It probably means swapping Mr Fendt for Mr Thwaites though.

You really want to burn white diesel? Better to stick to activities related to agriculture so you can stay on red.

log splitting....horse muck heap removal.....hedge cutting...tractor runs......haulage 😗....verge mowing...traffic calming....willie waving...the list goes on:ROFLMAO:
Be very careful on haulage as Vosa had a blitz a few weeks back and on any none agricultural use they will impound the gear and happily Chuck the book at anyone caught via court.
I know someone that was followed around 20 miles in an unmarked double cab pickup when driving a tractor before being confronted and vosa dont pee about and they actually know the rules unlike traffic cops.

I’m in Ireland, can use same diesel on construction sites.
