Ok the exemption is

Purposes relating to agriculture.
Passing on public roads only to land occupied by the same person.
Distance does not exceed 1.5km.

You probably won't be exempt.

I did read that actually and am told that that isn't the case as there is another section of legislation that agri reg is covered under. Certainly doesn't have to be all 1 owner, (I'm asking not stating but this is the info I have recieved from many places now).

I did contact our local firearms officer, he hadn't a clue and promised to pass it on, still waiting a week later I'm afraid

Just picked up on this on a farming forum;

Quad bikes

Quad bikes are required to be registered with DVLA before they can be used on public roads.

They can only be used for short distances on public roads and must have a number plate, be fitted with lamps and reflectors if they are to be used on public roads before sunrise or after sunset. They should also be fitted with indicators and a hazard warning light if they are capable of travelling above 15 miles per hour. If they are capable of travelling above 20 miles per hour a horn and a speedometer should also be fitted. If they are capable of travelling above 25 miles per hour a fog light should also be fitted.

The rider should make hand signals when changing direction or slowing down if the quad bike is not fitted with indicators and brake lights.

It is not permitted to carry passengers on a quad bike.

That is the exemption for agricultural vehicles under schedule 2.
