Tractorman810 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm the same as archbarch; I've never taken a test on a tractor, having passed my car test before first driving a tractor and subsequently driving tractors etc on a Cat B licence. The first tractor I drove on the road (in 1980) was a 1974 model MF 165 with a flexi clad cab same tractor as me then clive :D :D ours must have been arround the same age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM190 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 were abouts? Your local driving test centre could organise it for you. Pretty much an instructor comes to your nearest town and watches you drive around it and then asks you questions etc.. Pretty pointless really, not many bother with it, I didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Reminds me of the time that my young cousin had a budgie, I sent him to the village shop to get half a pound of nanny goat seed to feed it with, off he went but the shop told him they didn't stock it so he came back with some Millet. Double result! But not as good as asking the young female assistant in the local hardware shop for a 'left-handed smoke grinder', she knew they didn't have one in stock and then spent half an hour looking through their suppliers catalogue.
