Agricultural vehicles

As a general rule, tractors must be registered. However, in practice many tractors are exempted from registration in the Register of Motor Vehicles. 

This applies to tractors that are predominantly used for off-road purposes as traction or propulsion for work equipment and provided the tractor is only used for certain delimited types of on-road driving. Examples of permitted on-road driving are driving to and from the workplace or repairshop, driving in connection with roadworks carried out on road areas that are blocked off or marked, or driving when, for example, clearing snow. 

Motor implements must be registered in the Register of Motor Vehicles if they are designed and used for goods transport and this design is not necessary for operation of the motor implement.
These motor implements are not required to be registered in the Register of Motor Vehicles:

• Motor implements not designed and used for goods transport.
• Motor implements designed and used for goods transport, where such design and use are necessary for operation of the motor implement.

Agricultural motor implements are therefore most often not required to be registered, as they are rarely designed and used for goods transport where the design is not necessary for operation of the implement.

Trailers must be registered in the Register of Motor Vehicles if they are pulled by vehicles that require registration in the Register of Motor Vehicles.

A trailer is not required to be registered in the Register of Motor Vehicles if it is only pulled by a vehicle that is not required to be registered.

Trailers pulled by an agricultural vehicle will therefore often not require registration.

Trailer equipment must be registered with the Register of Motor Vehicles if it can be pulled at more than 30 km/h.
Such trailer equipment is most often not required to be registered in the Register of Motor Vehicles:

• field drums;
• seeders;
• green harvesters.

Agricultural trailers are therefore often not required to be registered.
