1. Categories of tractors and trailers

1.1. Category T – wheeled tractors

Category T1: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h, a minimum track width of the axle ¹⁾ , closest to the operator, of not less than 1150 mm, an unladen mass of more than 600 kg and a ground clearance of not more than 1000 mm.

Category T2: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h, a minimum track width of less than 1150 mm, an unladen mass of more than 600 kg and a ground clearance of not more than 600 mm. If the ratio of the height of the tractor's centre of gravity to the average minimum track width of the axles exceeds 0,9, the maximum design speed shall not exceed 30 km/h.

Category T3: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h and an unladen mass of not more than 600 kg.

Category T4: special-purpose wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h:

Т4.1 – high-clearance tractors designed for working with high-growing crops, for example vineyards.

They are characterised by a raised chassis or part of the chassis, which allows them to travel parallel to the rows of plants while straddling them.

They are designed to be fitted with working tools, which may be mounted at the front, between the axles, at the rear or on a platform. In working position, the ground clearance of the tractor exceeds 1000 mm. If the ratio of the height of the tractor's centre of gravity (with standard tyres) to the average minimum track width of the axles exceeds 0,9, the maximum design speed shall not exceed 30 km/h;

Т4.2 – extra-wide tractors. They are characterised by large dimensions and are designed specifically for working large agricultural areas;

Т4.3 – low-clearance four-wheel-drive forestry or agricultural tractors whose interchangeable equipment is intended for forestry or agricultural work, with a load-bearing frame, one or more power take-off shafts, a technically permissible maximum laden mass of not more than 10 t and a ratio of the technically permissible maximum laden mass to the maximum unladen mass of less than 2,5. The height of the centre of gravity of such tractors (with standard tyres) is less than 850 mm.

Category T5: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of more than 40 km/h.

1.2 Category C – track-laying tractors

The definitions of track-laying tractors of categories C1 – C5 are analogous to the definitions of wheeled tractors of categories T1 – T5;

С 4.1 - high-clearance track-laying tractors; the definition is analogous to the definition of wheeled tractors of category T4.1.

С4.2 – extra-wide track-laying tractors; the definition is analogous to the definition of wheeled tractors of category T4.2.

Union "On Safety of Agricultural and
Forestry Tractors and Trailers Thereto"
(TR CU 031/2012)

1. Example of a tractor manufacturer's plate

2. Classification of technically permissible towable masses

The following technically permissible towable masses of trailers are considered:

2.1. Mass of a trailer without brakes.

2.2. Mass of a trailer with independent braking, i.e. the tractor-and-trailer unit is braked by means of devices with the following characteristics:

the trailer brake control is independent of the tractor brake control. In all cases, it is mounted on the tractor so that the operator can easily actuate it from the operator's workstation;

the operator's muscular effort is the energy used to brake the towed trailer.

2.3. Mass of a trailer with inertia (overrun) braking, i.e. the trailer is braked by the force generated when the trailer moves towards the tractor.

2.4. Mass of a trailer equipped with hydraulic, pneumatic or combined brake transmission, i.e. braking of the tractor-and-trailer unit may be continuous, semi-continuous or independent power braking.

Continuous braking of the tractor-and-trailer unit is performed by means of a device with the following characteristics:

a single control, which the operator actuates from the operator's workstation by a single progressive movement;

the energy used to brake the tractor-and-trailer unit comes from one and the same source (this may be the operator's muscular effort);

the braking system provides simultaneous or phased braking of both the tractor and the trailer, irrespective of their relative position.

Semi-continuous braking of the tractor-and-trailer unit is performed by means of a device with the following characteristics:

a single control, which the operator actuates from the operator's workstation by a single progressive movement;

the energy used to brake the tractor-and-trailer unit comes from several different sources (one of them may be the operator's muscular effort);

the braking system provides simultaneous or phased braking of both the tractor and the trailer, irrespective of their relative position.

Independent power braking of the tractor-and-trailer unit is performed by means of a device with the following characteristics:

the trailer brake control is independent of the tractor brake control. In all cases, it is mounted on the tractor so that the operator can easily actuate it from the operator's workstation;

the operator's muscular effort is not the energy used to brake the towed trailer.

3. The difference between the technically permissible towable mass set by the manufacturer and the authorised towable mass is specified in paragraph 8.2 of Annex 5 to this Technical Regulation of the Customs Union.
