Type-1 Diabetes and Tractor driving - Diabetes Message Board

Does anyone know whether or not you can legally drive an agricultural tractor if you are a type-1 diabetic, I know you can't drive anything above 3.5 tons, but that is the same for everyone on a normal car license unless you passed before a certain date, but tractors are classed as different according to the dvla. I know you can drive plant on building sites etc its just down to the employer to let you. But unsure on tractors. Hope someone can help. Many thanks.

You will have to check local law in your area, as it may differ in different places.

Also, it may depend on whether you drive the tractor only on private property, or need to drive on or cross public roads with it.
