1. Tractor
A tractor is a motor vehicle designed primarily to provide pulling power for agricultural, forestry or similar work. Tractors can tow trailers and machinery and may also carry or operate equipment used for tasks such as cultivating land, harvesting or maintaining forests.
Tractors often travel more slowly and are larger or wider than ordinary passenger vehicles, so other road users should allow sufficient space and take particular care when overtaking or meeting them on narrow roads.
How are agricultural tractors classified in Belgium?
Wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors are classified as category T vehicles, with further categories according to their design and technical characteristics.
Are all Belgian tractors designed for a maximum of 40 km/h?
No. Category-Ta tractors are designed for a maximum speed of no more than 40 km/h, while category-Tb tractors are designed for speeds above 40 km/h.
Which driving licence is used for agricultural tractors in Belgium?
Category G applies to tractors used for agricultural or forestry activities. It can normally be obtained from the age of 16, although additional rules, weight limits and exemptions apply depending on the driver's age, existing licence and use of the vehicle.
