The following vehicles need a WoF:
•
An agricultural tractor or machine operated at more than 40 km/h .
•
A goods trailer used principally for agricultural purposes towed at more than 40 km/h
(such a trailer is no longer an agricultural motor vehicle) by:
A tractor that is capable of exceeding 50 km/h
(if the trailer has a GVM, Gross Vehicle Mass, exceeding 3,500 kg,
then the trailer needs a CoF), or
A vehicle that is not an agricultural tractor or machine
(if the trailer has a GVM, Gross Vehicle Mass, exceeding 3,500 kg,
then the trailer needs a CoF)
Note: The above requirements apply regardless of whether the operator is a farmer or
an agricultural contractor .
5.3 What are the safety requirements for vehicles that do not need a WoF?
Vehicles not requiring a WoF still have to be in good condition and safe to use on the road .
This means that generally they need to meet the same requirements as vehicles on a WoF .
However, there are some exceptions, especially regarding lighting equipment .
Note - These are guidelines only
It is important to understand your obligations regarding both the classifi cation and safe
operation of trailed agricultural machinery . If you are unfamiliar with the rules please refer to
the Agricultural vehicles guide, it can be viewed or downloaded from the NZTA (New Zealand
Transport Agency) website at www .nzta .govt .nz
