Do you need a driver’s license to drive a tractor?

I just started working on my uncle’s farm and he wants me to drive the tractor. I’m only 15! Do I need a driver’s license to drive it?

Woah, sounds like a fun gig! You do not need a driver’s license to drive a tractor. However, you should only drive a tractor on a public road in order to get from one farm to another.
Here are the dos and don’ts of driving a tractor:
  • Don’t use a tractor as a means of transportation—they should only be driven for short periods and for specific agricultural business
  • Do use a slow-moving vehicle sign
  • Don’t tow more than the number of implements allowed by your state
  • Do keep tractor driving on public roads to a minimum
