About this requirement

In Great Britain, individuals aged 16 can obtain a category F driving licence for agricultural tractors with width and trailer restrictions; from age 17 these restrictions lift. Northern Ireland sets the minimum age for category F at 17. Category F licences cover tractors primarily used in agriculture or forestry. Other agricultural motor vehicles generally require a category B licence with a minimum age of 21. Additional categories such as H (tracked vehicles) and G (road rollers) require licence holders to be at least 21 years old.
