How and where to get a license for a tractor in Moscow

The need to obtain a tractor driver's license

This category of special equipment includes a large number of types of units, from highly specialized compact mechanisms with low power to multifunctional large-sized equipment. Regardless of the type of self-propelled machine you plan to work on, you must first obtain a certificate granting the right to operate this technical vehicle.

Having skills and even experience in driving a tractor will not allow you to get a good job with a high salary. Tractor driver vacancies are easy to find in different industries. This special equipment is used in construction, road work, agriculture, landscaping services, etc. The salaries of such specialists are decent. But you won’t be able to officially find a job without a document confirming your qualifications. Enterprise managers know that during an inspection by Gostekhnadzor, which reveals a violation of the requirements of the law, penalties will be imposed not only on the driver, but also on the responsible person who hired him without a document.

Classification of tractor equipment into categories and subcategories

It is important not only to have a tractor driver’s license, but also to obtain a category corresponding to the type of equipment you plan to work on. The rights may include the following designations:

AI – self-propelled vehicles that do not travel on general purpose highways and have a speed of no more than 50 km/h;
AII – off-road vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons, they can have up to 8 passenger seats;
AIII - SUVs whose weight exceeds 3.5 tons, passenger seats up to 8 units are allowed;
AIV – SUVs for passenger and cargo-passenger transportation with a number of seats from 9 units;

C – wheeled vehicles with a power unit up to 110.3 kW;
