Germany
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.
Which driving-licence categories are used for agricultural tractors in Germany?
Germany has special agricultural and forestry licence categories L and T. Their entitlements depend on vehicle design and use, so an ordinary car licence or a tractor’s appearance does not by itself settle eligibility for a particular tractor-and-trailer combination.
