Dunno about tractors if there is limitation on them but I went to the pub in wun one night.
Also used to take grain to the boats 12 miles away.

Slightly different kind of limitation on tractors - it must be for agricultural use. That also includes a few other things such as hedge trimming, road clearance (snowplough), etc and its defined by HMRC. In theory you can use it for other purposes if you drain the tank then fill up with DERV, but it never happens. But then people never really use tractors except for agricultural purposes.....except you!
It wus only once, well twice as I wouldn't count squashing a car with a tractor an agricultural use.
Was me birthday night out and me car wouldn't start when I went to leave work. Boss said "if you're driving to Aberdeen you're obviously not drinking" As I was working the next day I wasn't drinking. 30 miles to Aberdeen in a tractor is a slog of a journey I tell ya. Should have seen the look on my mates faces when I pulled up outside the puff club in one er these.
None of em believed I worked on a farm.

And bloody foreiegners, their royal and everything.

Dunno about these days but delivery driver who delivered red to the farm told me it wasn't the same quality as white. Said red had a higher proportion of water in it as big engines can easily burn a bit of water.
Was the same for the kerosene for the grain dryer, watered down more than CH oil for home use.

Fuel and water don't mix. you'd have a layer of water with the fuel on top.
anyone who checked / drained their tanks would notice the quantity of water, and quite rightly complain.

Doesn't have to be watered down with water. I should have used the term diluted. Diluted with something to make it go further?
And I'm only going by what I was told by a delivery driver.

I wouldn't believe anything a delivery driver tells you after all his expertise is in driving a truck FFS
He probably wouldn't know the chemical makeup of his load if you covered him in it and set him alight..I wouldn't believe anything a delivery driver tells you after all his expertise is in driving a truck FFS

im probably out of date but for ag vehicles there was a distance limit for an untaxed vehicle, used to be five miles tolal in a week between your own land ... and then a much bigger radius for carrying your own produce or supplies... which enabled you to use the tractor to haul grain to the merchant or collect fertiliser.... nothing whatsoever to do with what fuel was used.... my old tractor only goes out the gate for a couple of hours a year to trim the laneside hedge...so im not up to speed with the current liscencing requirements.
When I last worked on a farm (2001) by law all tractors traveling on the roads had to display a valid tax disc. Only I didn't see the point of this seeing as the tax disc was free anyway. Not sure if there is a charge now or not.
How do the Gov expect you to do 5 miles a week? If you own 400 acres 2 miles down the road you are going to blast through that 5 miles on the first day of harvest/silage/hay time.
