    Hi can anyone tell me the full process of getting a tractor licence and where to apply for it in cork thanks :) im 15 atm

    You gotta apply online for a theory test,a mobile testing unit will be calling to your local town from time to time,i think there is 40 questions on test and you have to get 38 correct,fee is €45, its just a money racket really,you have to pay another €25 for the book to study for test.You can do test at 15 but cant get licence till 16.

    Yeah just send in the form and got the licence back then. But they are making up for it now had to do the cpc thingy. Was at a course last month and there was a person there and the only licence he had was for an Artic. He didnt have a licence for a car, small lorry, tractor or motor bike

    Need artic license to pull a low loader and twin axle trailer from next year, and I heard rumors that 2wd vehicles won't be allowed pull twin axle trailers in the future.

    If it does it will cause havoc as most 13x7 trailers are double axle

    I taught you would have the full c licence before u could get the artic , at least that was the way before .

    Every farmer can't do the artic license tho. I'd say there will be an exemption to agri use tho. How would the agri contractors operate
