Tractor questions
Discussion
I'm about to buy a 2001 Ford Tractor with the house we are buying which has not been on the road since 2008. It has no documentation so I think I need to get a V62 form from the post office and then apply for a V5. I have no plan to put it back on the road but use it on the land where we live so I have a couple of questions:
- Is getting the V62 form and then V5 the right process?
- I assume I need these items to insure it and have a Q reg plate on it so can insure it without needing the tax/V5
- Given this will never hit the road, it will not need an MOT but I believe it still needs to be roadworthy
- I've read that the tractor needs to comply with PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations)?
- Given it's sole use will be for providing food for animals (grass cutting) can I use Red diesel? (There is a tank on the property)
- I'm not clear if I need to register this as SORN?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for all the replies.
I'll call NFU and see what they can do for me as the other vehicles are already covered.
I'll tax it as well as I might as well and get a mate who knows about tractors to help with specific mechanics and driver training. We only plan to use it for grass cutting and have an attachment
Might as well call the DVLA to check it all is ok and if they have advice
Thanks once again and once we move in next week I'll post some pics of the blue peril
