Hi Bruce. Here, maybe in other places too?, the question of licensing and taxing tractors is a can of worms - ask 6 people the same question you get 6 different answers. As for this tractor, technically it's currently 'unregistered', having been last taxed before 1998, and therefore having dropped off the database of registered vehicles. Looks like I could leave it that way, but NO public road use would be permitted. If I re-register it, I then have to apply for an annual 'exempt' tax disc - nothing to pay, but LIMITED road use permitted - OR a SORN (a Statutory Off Road Notice) which also costs nothing, but means NO road use! To answer your other question - no, there is no annual mechanical check for 'agricultural machines' (called a MOT test in UK) despite various attempts over the years to have one introduced. Nevertheless, if you caused an accident on the highway and your tractor (or combine etc) was found to be mechanically defective, you would be in deep doo doo... The other real can of worms is in hauling it on the highway - does your towing truck need a tachograph or not? max permitted 'gross train weight'? for reward? Problem is that the average traffic cop does not know the letter of THAT law any more than Joe Public does! That's a whole other discussion... Well, you did ask, thanks for your interest! Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year! Jim

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
