1. Limited Distance: The tractor must only be operated within a certain distance from the farm or agricultural operation. The specific distance may vary but typically ranges from a few miles to a few dozen miles.
2. Specific Purpose: The tractor must be used solely for agricultural purposes, such as transporting farm machinery or agricultural products. It cannot be used for personal or recreational purposes.
3. Slow Speed: The tractor must be operated at a slow and safe speed, typically around 25 miles per hour or less.
4. Display of Information: The tractor must display a visible sign or placard indicating it is a farm vehicle.
In addition to these criteria, the individual operating the tractor may also need to possess certain knowledge or qualifications, such as having a valid tractor safety certificate or having passed a tractor safety training course.
As these regulations can vary between jurisdictions, it is essential to check the local laws and regulations in the specific area where the tractor will be operated to determine if a driver's license is required or if any exemptions apply.
