Hi All

Whats a A tractor
2 seat only
limted to 30mph mechanical
cars for 15 year old to gain a licence
 
It's from Sweden, and your info is not 100% correct :p

740s and 240s are the most popular for this.
And you don't have to shortend it.

Dual gearboxes
Limited to 30 km/h
2 Seats
Must have a bed at the back
Must have a tow ball
Normal age for driving this wiechle is 16 years old. But some exeptions are made for farmer kids, they can drive it from the age of 15.

in january 2009 the rules changed to 15 years...


What do you mean by dual gearboxes?

two gearboxes after eachother to bring the gear ratios down to limit the top speed to 30kph

I FOUND THIS ON A A TRACTOR SITE

I only listed the detail of what I know about A tractor.

I didn't say all A tractor need to be shortened

As for the change to the rules. I didn't know about them. Do you know the rule for getting a licence in Australia

Thank you for listing the correct definition of a A tractor
 
seems overkill when you have lights but whatever - where I live the only vehicles that run the triangles are vehicles without lights - farm tractors - buggies - that kind of thing.
 
I find this pretty funny, why not get them a quad or something?

Its one thing to be sitting on top ahuge diesel tractor by yourself going 20km/hr max(put over 1000 hours on one). Its another to be driving a volvo with your friend on the side of the road revving the engine to the max just to go 30mph, I think that engine would overheat rather quickly lol, I could be wrong though.
