neil 2,398 #2 Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Gazza You can get isurance for your tractor from NFU at around £40 to 50 for a year or you could try Cherished Car Insurance. 01252 713148. quite easy to do If you intend to drive the tractor around the showground you will need insurance , some shows will allow you to exhibit without insurance if you just have a static display . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #5 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I don't know what rules/laws are different on your side of the pond.......... I just found out yesterday that if I am a member ($10 fee) to one of the area clubs, I am automatically covered at their shows....Otherwise, you have to have $500.000 liability insurance......For $10, I am now a card carrying member!

meadowfield 2,545 #9 Posted April 6, 2014 NFU don't care about age of driver, the policy covers the tractor not the driver. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #10 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) NFU don't care about age of driver, the policy covers the tractor not the driver. So it covers theft/damage I sopppse but I went on the website and I can't find the section I need can someone give me the URL to the part of the page I need James P.s. Does that mean I can drive it on the road with insurance Edited April 7, 2014 by Jparkes43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #11 Posted April 7, 2014 You can only drive it on the road if: insured road legal taxed aged 16 or over... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #12 Posted April 7, 2014 James, I was only 16 years of age when I took out my policy with NFU, I have just renewed mine, as mark mentioned, you as a person aren't covered, it's the tractor itself, so anyone driving it with the policy holders permission. They didn't even ask my age. They just asked for name, address, vehicle value, serial number etc, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
