BDifficulty 2/5

Can an agricultural tractor with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kilograms be driven with a category B licence?

Correct answer

Yes, category B authorises that agricultural vehicle.

Yes. Article 5.9 of the General Driver Regulations permits category B holders to drive self-propelled special agricultural vehicles and combinations even above 3,500 kg. It does not make this authorisation conditional on a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The non-agricultural special-vehicle regime differs and must not be reduced to one mass limit for every case. Personal licence restrictions and other traffic requirements still apply.
