I would to do both of them but can't see it happening. I think the only way you might get the a H licence is asking a farmer for his challenger or own one yourself and chances of getting a test at present pretty low. I was told any tracked tractor wider than 2.55 would be disqualified. 25 inch tracked challengers are very rare they tip over on slopes.

The doc has banned me from London until Feb next year and I do not take any avoidable risks. Touch wood, I have not yet had an infection. Bearing in mind the inconsistent way in which DVSA has been operating, it will make for an interesting meeting at a senior level at the Department for Transport when I can get to London. The good news about my illness is that it makes for plenty of time to work on the REME Museum's Conqueror ARV! John You and me mate, don’t forget those 430 smokes .

Andy We used to hire my 432s to Tim at SVT and he did the tests here in Brackly. Our H test 432 just went on a very long one way trip.

Rodney Maynard Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I appreciate the update with Cat H training from Nick at Tanks Alot. I did drop my interest for a while. Earlier this year phoned a local company in Norfolk again as found out he had a tracked agricultural vehicle and was training with it. Ask about finally doing my Cat H and Cat G. My mouth dropped when he said 1800 pounds for Cat H and 2300 Cat G. If anyone knows anyone who can do a special deal for please get in touch would be much appreciated. Ps not paying that lol 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 A friend of mine who is a farmer took his H test at his farm, just booked the test on line, examiner turned up and done. Obviously you need a farm and the correct expensive tracked vehicle for that to work out 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if you don’t have a suitable vehicle already, buying one to take the H test in would probably come to more than the £1200 or whatever it is to take an organised course.

Rodney Maynard Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Well don't plan on buying one or spending over 2k to do the training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin33ba07 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Well in Ireland there is no category H on your licence ,so its a fudge by the authorities and a complete grey area ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
