A tractor is a self-propelled vehicle; it can be tracked or wheeled. The main purpose is to perform agricultural, road, construction and earthmoving work. The vehicles can move either independently or with a trailer. However, when purchasing such equipment, not all citizens are aware of the upcoming registration procedure.

In the material below we will talk about the standards for registering special equipment and where and when it needs to be done.
Where are special equipment registered?

State supervision over the technical condition of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment in Russia is an inspection body that registers the technical condition of equipment, road construction vehicles and trailers for them, assesses the level of safety of use by citizens and harm caused to the environment. The powers of these bodies also include inspection of agricultural machinery in order to verify compliance with the rules of the machines being operated.

Do you need a license to drive a tractor?
Anyone who plans to drive a self-propelled vehicle needs a license. First of all, let's define what a self-propelled machine is. Self-propelled vehicles are vehicles that are capable of moving independently and are equipped with a large engine. Large volumes start from 50 cc. or, if it is an electric machine, then the engine power must be at least 4 kW. In this case, the speed of the unit should not exceed 50 km/h.
Types of categories
For ease of classification, all vehicles have been divided into categories according to which corresponding licenses are issued that allow driving these vehicles. The exams are taken at a driving school, where a driver's license is issued. There are:
- A – this category includes all equipment that should not travel on public roads, and is also not capable of increasing speeds above 50 km/h. The prescribed age for issuing the category is 16 years.

In addition to the categories, there is a rank grid that gives various opportunities to the tractor driver. They can only be assigned by a Gostekhnadzor inspector after successfully passing the appropriate exam and completing training at a driving school. The following categories are distinguished:
- Ability to control special equipment, but in the presence of an instructor. You can repair various mechanisms and devices.

Registration of walk-behind tractors and cultivators
I would like to especially note the registration of walk-behind tractors or cultivators. In accordance with the law, they are not registered, but problems may arise with traffic police inspectors when driving them on public roads.
Therefore, when traveling, owners of such vehicles are recommended to have at least a category A license, which allows them to travel legally on such a vehicle. In addition, it is advisable to travel on walk-behind tractors with an attached trailer not on highways, but on dirt roads or those roadways that are not controlled by the traffic police.

How to properly register a tractor in 2022?

In 2022, the latest changes were approved, which related to the amount of state fees for registration actions. According to the new amendments, the amount of state duty has increased. If previously the owner paid 1,000 rubles to obtain new registration plates for a tractor, now this amount has increased by 500 rubles. Obtaining a registration certificate will cost 250 rubles. expensive. And to obtain temporary registration or make changes to the transport passport, you will have to pay 300 rubles, although previously similar procedures cost 200 rubles.
Tractor owners should remember that they must pay the state duty not only when registering a tractor with Gostekhnadzor, but also when deregistering it.
In accordance with the rules of the Administrative Code, a self-propelled vehicle can be registered not only for an individual, but also for an enterprise and organization. If a tractor is registered to an individual, the procedure is carried out at the place of residence or stay of its owner. For example, in order to register a tractor with Gostekhnadzor in Samara, you must have permanent or temporary registration in this city.
If the owner is a citizen of another state, then the vehicle is registered using a temporary registration or at the residential address indicated in the permit to stay in Russia. For an individual who has refugee status, equipment is registered at the address specified in the refugee certificate.
When registering self-propelled equipment for a legal entity, the address of the organization is indicated. If transport is issued by a foreign company, and the equipment is brought to Russia for more than six months, temporary registration is made at the address of the enterprise.

A few facts about OSAGO
A civil liability insurance policy is a mandatory document that any driver must have. It allows you to minimize your losses in the event of an accident on the road. Compensation is due only to the injured party; the culprit restores his transport and health himself. The main features of the “motor citizen” are:
- The issued MTPL policy is valid only on the territory of the Russian Federation, its minimum period is 1 year.
- If there is no completed document at the time of inspection, the vehicle owner will be issued a fine. It is 800 rubles; in case of systematic violation of the law, administrative liability is possible.
- The maximum limit of compensation payments is established at the legislative level and currently amounts to 400,000 rubles.
- It is not the driver’s own equipment (car, motorcycle, tractor) that is insured, but the driver’s liability to the injured person. That is, if an accident occurred due to his fault, he will not need to pay compensation.
- In the event of an insured risk, car insurance allows you to receive compensation in the form of car repairs, payment for treatment and restoration of health, or transfer of funds to a personal account.
Insurance does not cover race cars or accidents during city practice runs. In addition, payment will be refused in the event of force majeure. This applies to mass unrest in the country, civil unrest, and strikes.

Removal from the register

After deregistration, the owner of the special equipment receives a vehicle passport with new data entered and temporary state signs (in the case of transporting the vehicle to another region of the country).
Do I need to register?
All special equipment without documents that is planned to be used for agricultural purposes must go through the procedure of obtaining documents from Gostekhnadzor. The specialists of this institution determine whether the rules for operating machines, which are prescribed in regulatory documents, are being observed.
Registration of the tractor must be carried out no later than 10 days from the date of its purchase. If the car has been deregistered, cleared through customs, or license plates have been replaced, then all these procedures should be reflected in the Gostekhnadzor register.
If for some reason an individual does not register the tractor in a timely manner, then a fine of up to 1,500 rubles will be imposed on him. Officials will have to pay up to 3,500 rubles. In case of delays, legal entities are charged up to 10,000 rubles.
