Agri registering a quad bike

[Fleming]

Looking for some help/guidance. I don’t have a clue where to start guys. I have recently landed a permission that is right in my door step and I can now ride the quad onto the ground from my house but I have to go through the housing estate first. I’m looking to agri register the bike just to keep me on the right side of the law. Has anyone done this before, any help would be greatly appreciated. The bike is a Yamaha Grizzly it has main and dipped headlights and horn but that’s the lot.

I tried to retrospectively road register a quad for agri use and it was a nightmare! Better to trade it in for one that is already registered.

I found this on the forum, sounds like what you need:

I have just registered a quad for agricultural use, so i thought i would let you know how i went about it, first go to the link below and decide what applies to you, i went for the full lighting kit including fog and hazard lights made up of parts from ebay.

http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs/cyclingandmotorcycling/agriculturalquadbikes

Then i insured the bike with the NFU TPFT any driver £150 the policy just had the frame number on it,
Ring DVLA and ask for form V55/5 with guidance notes to be sent to you, note that a lot of the questions will not apply to you so just leave them blank.

Fill out the form and send it to your local DVLA office with a cheque for £55 your Passport or Driving licence, Insurance Certificate, and utility bill,

After a few days you will receive a letter asking you to attend the local DVLA office so that they can inspect the Quad

At the inspection they are only interested in checking the frame ,and engine number if it has one, mine did not

A few days later you will receive a form with your registration number on it and your free road tax disc,

take this form to your local motor factor with some identity and get your number plate made up,

Put both number plate and tax disc on the Quad and you are ready to go

The regisration document will turn up in due course

Hope this is of use to someone,

regards geoff

Sounds like this is going to be fun.

I took the easy route in the end and bought another bike that was already road registered.
