Farmers' tractors / tractor + trailer combo
Can anyone give general advice on the following questions. The scenario is several dozen tractor + trailer movements a day between two locations along a narrow country road.
1. Where a farmer has access to remote buildings across his own land, but chooses to exclusively use the narrow road instead.
2. Where (presumably) red diesel is being used
3. Where a farmer chooses to locate stock remotely from the main holding rather than near to his own dwelling and his own nearer buildings
4. Where the distance travelled is greater than 2 miles one way on each occasion.

These are statements, not questionsIf you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
I'm guessing the question is whether the farmer can use red diesel on the road in these situations. The answer is yes.0

1. Where a farmer has access to remote buildings across his own land, but chooses to exclusively use the narrow road instead. His choice how he accesses them.
2. Where (presumably) red diesel is being used Its for farming purposes.
3. Where a farmer chooses to locate stock remotely from the main holding rather than near to his own dwelling and his own nearer buildings Again it’s his choice.
4. Where the distance travelled is greater than 2 miles one way on each occasion.He can travel as far as he needs to.

So not plate on the trailer? It’s hardly the worst offence in the world, they don’t need to be registered and you can probably read the tractor reg with a trailer on.0
