    The reason they are allowed (and often licensed) to use that equipment is because they need it to do their jobs.

    What country gives that reasoning? In America, if I wanted to, I could buy a tractor, a sprayer, and whatever else I wanted, and I could do whatever I wanted with it so long as I put a slow vehicle sign when I went down the highway.

    Why would a country restrict tractors? Seems asinine.

      Every driving licence issued in the UK has a like to show eligibility to drive a tractor. If you have passed a car driving test you get a category F entitlement which allows you to drive an agricultural tractor. About 75% of the UK population are licensed to drive a tractor.
