When is travel NOT allowed under this Notice?

An agricultural vehicle is not considered eligible if it does not comply with any conditions of the Notice, the Guide or the Map, including:

• exceeding:
  • a mass limit or a condition relating to mass; or
  • a dimension limit for the Zone or condition,
• when not performing an agricultural task;
• If the vehicle or combination is a light agricultural vehicle or combination;
• when carrying a load not related to the agricultural task.

Non-agricultural vehicles and combinations

Non-agricultural vehicles or combinations cannot operate under the Notice, even if they are transporting equipment or goods used in agricultural activities.

Examples of a non-agricultural combination not eligible to operate under the Notice:

• a prime mover and non-agricultural trailer combination; or
• a rigid truck; or
• rigid and non-agricultural trailer combination.

This includes when transporting equipment or goods used in agricultural activities. These combinations are considered load-carrying vehicles.

Depending on the vehicle or combination, access may be considered for non-agricultural vehicles or combinations under another notice or via a mass and/or dimension permit subject to a granting of consent by the relevant road manager/s.

For more information, please contact the NHVR by email at info@nhvr.gov.au or by phone on 13 NHVR (13 64 87).

Light agricultural vehicles and implements

This Notice only relates to heavy agricultural vehicles or heavy agricultural combinations; refer to Table 2 for light agricultural vehicles operating as single vehicles, and light agricultural combinations that are not covered by this Notice.

Light agricultural vehicles, including agricultural trailers and implements, have a GVM or ATM not exceeding 4.5 tonnes.

Note: There may be state- or territory-specific legislation relating to the movement of light vehicles and light combinations that are over dimension. These are not administered by the NHVR.

For further information, please contact the relevant state or territory transport department.

Carrying a load not related to the agricultural task?

If the load on an agricultural implement or trailer is not relevant to the agricultural task, the agricultural vehicle or combination is not covered by the Notice.

For example, bagged fertiliser being carried on a silage trailer, which causes the combination to exceed regulation mass limits, is not covered by the Notice, as the load is not relevant to the agricultural task the trailer performs.

In these cases, access may be granted under another notice, or under a Class 1 or Class 3 mass and/or dimension permit, subject to consent by the relevant road manager/s. For more information, please contact the NHVR by email at info@nhvr.gov.au or by phone 13 NHVR (13 64 87).

Smallest practicable size

The driver of an agricultural vehicle or combination must ensure that it is kept to its smallest practicable dimensions during travel on public roads.

This is done by ensuring any mechanisms and/or booms are folded or retracted before travel. For example, transport mode is enabled on an air drill seeder during travel on a public road as illustrated in Figure 6, or raising implements designed to lower into the soil for seeding or tilling.

While travelling in their smallest practicable size, the agricultural vehicle/combination must still comply with the Notice's dimension limits and any other dimension-related conditions that apply.

Unless a specific state condition is more restrictive, the following mass conditions apply nationally to an eligible vehicle or combination.

The mass of an agricultural vehicle or combination operating under the Notice must not exceed:

• 45.0 tonnes; or
• the mass of a single axle or axle group (Table 13); or
• the mass limit specific to rubber-tracked tractors (Table 15 and Table 32 in Queensland)

Agricultural vehicles and combinations are limited to a mass that is the lesser of:

• the mass limits specified or conditioned in the Notice;
• the mass determined by the tow mass ratios in the Notice; and
• any manufacturer's ratings.

Tow mass ratio restrictions for agricultural combinations

What is tow mass ratio?

Tow mass ratio means the ratio of the mass of the towing vehicle (agricultural machine or complying motor vehicle) to the combined mass of the towed implements and trailers, when all vehicles are connected as part of a combination.

Determining Tow Mass Ratio

When calculating the tow mass ratio, operators should weigh units of the combination when coupled. The mass of individual units may change when coupled to another vehicle, as mass can distribute across towed units in the combination.

Towing and towed vehicle masses include any load being carried by the vehicles.

Confirm your tow mass ratio with the Tow Mass Ratio Calculator (XLSX, 17KB)

Brakes

Agricultural machines and motor vehicles that provide the driving power in an agricultural combination must be fitted with brakes.

Trailers and implements towed in an agricultural combination are not required to be fitted with brakes; however, to promote acceptable braking performance, agricultural combinations are subject to:

• tow mass ratio requirements; or
• braking performance testing as detailed in National roller brake testing procedure (PDF, 728KB)

You must take extra care when towing, particularly if the towed trailer or vehicle is not fitted with brakes. The extra mass behind the towing vehicle may be less stable, have slower acceleration, and take longer to stop.

Complying braking system

For agricultural combinations where all towed implements and/or trailers comply with Australian Design Rule 38/00 – Trailer Brake Systems, the towed vehicles may have a combined total mass up to 3 times the mass of the towing vehicle. For example, for an agricultural combination where all units have complying brakes, if a tractor has a GVM of 10 tonnes, it may tow trailers with a combined GVM of up to 30 tonnes (i.e. a tow mass ratio of 1:3).

Non-complying braking system

If an agricultural combination includes at least one implement or trailer that is not compliant with Australian Design Rule 38/00 – Trailer Brake Systems, the combination must travel at a maximum speed of 25km/h in any zone and the towed mass ratio of the combination may be greater than 1.2 and up to 1.5 times more than the mass of the towing vehicle (that is 1:1.2 up to 1:1.5).

Braking performance test

If an operator cannot determine the mass of the vehicles to calculate the tow mass ratio, then a simple braking test can be performed.

The braking performance test is a procedure that may provide a means of complying with vehicle standards braking requirements upon successful completion and meeting the pass criteria.

Note that this braking performance test is optional, and you may choose to instead operate under the prescriptive requirements, which is explained in this Guide on:

• maximum operating speeds for agricultural combinations; and
• braking and Tow Mass Ratio requirements.

Important information

The braking performance test does not authorise a combination to exceed any mass limit of the Notice or a road manager condition relating to mass.

Basic brake test procedure

The following section outlines methods and requirements to measure stopping distance when applying brakes on your vehicle or combination.

Note:

• Information in this section is sourced from the National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual and the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation.
• Failure to undertake the braking performance test properly may result in a breach of the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) under the HVNL.
• The Braking Performance Test Form is not required to be submitted for approval by the NHVR or a road manager. However, it must be able to be presented upon request by an authorised officer.

The Braking Performance Test Form (DOCX, 132KB) must be completed by the driver or operator of an agricultural combination. This form is the approved template for recording the results of a braking performance test. All sections of the form must be completed.

• Operators must be satisfied that their vehicle passes the braking performance test and sign the declaration at the end of the form.
• The driver must keep a completed copy of the signed Braking Performance Test Form in the driving compartment of the combination when travelling.
• Each unit in the combination cannot be loaded to masses greater than when it passed the braking performance test.
• The braking performance test does not authorise any manufacturer’s ratings to be exceeded.
• The braking performance test does not authorise combinations to exceed sign posted speed limits.

Test track requirements

The test must be conducted on a dry, smooth, level road surface (i.e. flat) and free from loose material.

Ensure that you take adequate safety precautions considering the environment and any other factors that may pose a safety risk.

Please allow enough distance for your vehicle to accelerate up to test speed and stop safely.

Equipment requirements

• Minimum 4 markers (e.g. cone, box etc.) to set up on the test track approximately 10m apart.
  • The first pair of markers is to indicate to the driver when to apply brakes.
  • You may use a person to signal the driver when to apply brakes.
  • The second pair of markers is to assist in measuring stopping distance. 
  • Additional pairs of markers are recommended for higher test speeds (10m spacing).
  • Markers must be set up on both sides of the combination as per Step 4 (Table 17), to assist in measuring braking on a straight path. The distance from the combination to where the markers must be set up depends on the combination's width.
• Tape measure (recommended 10m or longer) or another measuring device to measure stopping distance and straight path.

Braking performance test instructions

Table 17: Braking performance test steps

Step	Method
1	Drive the vehicle to a nominal speed (common operating speed). If the vehicle has a manual transmission, once at the testing speed, put the transmission into neutral, automatic transmission vehicles may remain in gear.
2	With hands-on the steering wheel, bring the vehicle to a halt as rapidly as possible. This is to be done safely with one sustained and smooth application of the service brakes. Examples of service brakes include hydrostatic brakes or a foot pedal.
3	Measure stopping distance. The stopping distance is to be measured from the front of the combination to the first marker or where it is evident on the ground where brakes were first applied. Successful result: Refer to Maximum stopping distance at various operating speeds to pass the braking performance test Table 18.
4	Measuring straight path. The straight path to be measured based on the placement of the markers on the right and left sides of the combination. The distance that each pair of markers must be placed is provided below: if a vehicle is 2.5m wide or wider – markers are to be placed 0.6m from the outside edge on the right and left side of the combination; or if a vehicle is less than 2.5m wide – the distance between the markers must be 3.7m, with each marker equally spaced on the right and left side of the combination. The markers must be set up so that they are in a straight line to each other (e.g. the markers form a parallel line on either side of the combination for the length of the test track) Note: This is an adaptation of section 87(1)(d) of the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation Successful result: After brakes have been applied, at no point in time did the unit in the combination move outside of the markers.
5	Record results. Refer to the mandatory Braking Performance Test Form (DOCX, 132KB)
6	Repeat test and record results another two times. You must pass three attempts of the test. Note: Adjusting loading, operating speed and braking system performance may result in better performance.
7	Sign the declaration on the Braking Performance Test Form (DOCX, 132KB)

Explanatory statement:

• Pass result: You may operate the combination, at the masses the test was performed, up to a speed of 40km/h, if you did the test at 40km/h and stopped within a maximum distance of 22m.
• Fail result: If you exceed the maximum stopping distance for the operating speed, your combination does not pass the braking performance test

No travelling if low visibility

The driver of an agricultural vehicle or combination must not travel on a public road if:

• visibility is less than 250m in the daytime; or
• the headlights of a vehicle approaching within 250m could not be seen at night.

If visibility is reduced to a distance less than described above, the driver must leave the road at the nearest safe parking area and wait there until visibility improves before recommencing travel.

Minimum following distance

On a public road, the driver of an agricultural vehicle or combination must drive at least 200m behind another oversize vehicle travelling in front of it, except when driving on a multi-lane road, in a built-up area or while overtaking.

An oversize vehicle must comply with the warning sign requirements in Table 48 (warning signs tab below).

Allowing other vehicles to overtake

On a public road, the agricultural vehicle or combination driver must, at regular intervals, when reasonably practical and safe and in line with the road rules, move off the road to allow other vehicles to overtake it, unless there is a separate lane for overtaking vehicles.

The driver should assess a route for its capacity to allow for overtaking when conducting the pre-assessment of the route before travel.

Headlight operation during the day

An agricultural vehicle or combination fitted with headlights must operate with its headlights on and in the low beam position during the daytime when travelling on a public road.

This also applies to non-agricultural vehicles providing the drive power in an agricultural combination.

Special conditions for sugarcane harvesters in Queensland

The following exemption applies only during daylight in Queensland.

A sugarcane harvester with a rear overhang up to 7.8m is allowed to travel on any road in Queensland, without being accompanied by a pilot vehicle, except for in the following three situations:

• No travel is allowed on a road in the sugarcane harvester excluded areas.
• Travel in a 'Critical Area' or on a 'Critical Road' is allowed only if accompanied by one pilot vehicle, positioned at the rear.
• Travel on a 'Major Road' is allowed only if accompanied by one pilot vehicle, positioned at the rear.

Note: If a rear pilot vehicle is already required due to another condition (e.g. due to the width being over 4.5m), then an additional rear pilot is not required.

Despite the above requirements, if a road is listed as an 'Approved Sugarcane Harvester Road', no pilot is required for travel during daylight hours.

Sugarcane harvesters with rear overhang up to 7.8m

In Queensland, the rear overhang of a sugarcane harvester may be up to 7.8m during the daytime and night, subject to compliance with:

• any pilot vehicle conditions that may exist (refer to the pilot vehicle requirements under the 'National pilot and escort conditions' expander);
• sugarcane harvester excluded areas (refer to the 'Network and mapping' tab).

At all times, the elevator of the sugarcane harvester must be moved in the same direction as the vehicle is turning to minimise the distance the overhang projects into the adjacent lane. The elevator should not project out beyond the side of the vehicle in an unsafe manner while performing this procedure.

• have a face showing the word OVERSIZE, in black capital letters and in typeface Series C(N) complying with AS 1744 Forms of Letters and Numerals for Road Signs. Note: AS 1744 Forms of Letters and Numerals for Road Signs may be purchased from Standards Australia; and
• have letters at least 200mm high and at least 125mm from the top and bottom of the warning sign.

If the length of the warning sign is spilt into two parts:

• the word OVER must be on the left part and the word SIZE on the right part;
• there must be no border between the two parts; and
• both parts must be mounted at the same height.

A warning sign on an agricultural vehicle must be fitted horizontally. The lower edge of the warning sign must be:

• above the bottom bumper bar; or
• if there is no bumper bar, at least 500mm above ground level.

The face of a warning sign on a Class 1 agricultural vehicle must have:

• a yellow surface complying with Class 1 or 2 of AS 1906 ‘Retro-reflective Materials and Devices for Road Traffic Control Purposes’;
• a black border that is at least 20mm wide and, unless the sign is made with a box edge, the outermost edge of which is at least 10mm in from the edge of the sign; and
• its manufacturer’s name or trademark, and the brand and class of material as used for the warning sign’s surface, permanently marked in letters at least 3mm but no more than 10mm high on any visible part of the sign.

A warning sign on an agricultural vehicle must be made of stiff, flat, weatherproof material, for example:

• zincalume that is at least 0.8mm thick
• aluminium that is at least 1.6mm thick.

However, it may be made of flexible, weatherproof material if the sign is:

• held taught
• clearly visible
• unlikely to become dislocated or rolled up, or otherwise difficult to be read by other road users.

Warning signs must be designed and fitted in accordance with Schedule 8 Part 3 Division 2 of the MDL.

Warning patterns

A warning pattern (Figure 10) must be displayed at the sides of the rear of any auger, conveyor or the reaping implement of a combine harvester.

A warning pattern must:

• cover an area of at least 0.16m2; and
• consist of diagonal stripes at least 150mm wide that are alternately coloured red and white or black and white.

Headlights

The agricultural vehicle or combination must have its low-beam headlights on while it is being used in the daytime.

Requirements for tractors

Any part of an axle extending more than 150mm from the outside wall of a tractor’s tyre must be painted fluorescent yellow, or have yellow fluorescent or other high-visibility material wrapped around it.

Warning lights and delineators if a load projects from a vehicle

As per Section 3 of Schedule 8 of the MDL Regulation, an agricultural vehicle or combination requires warning lights and delineators if:

• a load projects more than 150mm beyond the side of the vehicle or combination; and
• the projection is less than 500mm thick from top to bottom.

Warning lights must be designed and fitted in accordance with Schedule 8 Part 3 Division 1 of the MDL Regulation.

Delineators must be designed and fitted in accordance with section 3 of Schedule 8 of the MDL Regulation.

Registration

An eligible vehicle must have registration or conditional registration before operating on the road network.

Conditional registration is registration for non-standard vehicles that do not comply with the standard registration regulations and have a genuine need for limited access to the road network.

As agricultural machines have their own automotive power, they generally need to be registered. Some agricultural implements and trailers may not require registration.

The NHVR is not responsible for registration or conditional registration. State and territory governments administer the registration aspect of transport law.

Registration requirements are dependent on the state or territory. For further information, please use the links below or contact the relevant state or territory transport department:

South Australia	Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT)
Tasmania	Department of State Growth (DSG)
Victoria	Department of Transport and Planning (DTP)

Licensing

In order to drive a heavy agricultural vehicle or agricultural combination on public roads, operators require a licence of the appropriate class.

The NHVR is not responsible for licence requirements. State and territory governments administer the licensing aspect of transport law.

Licensing requirements are dependent on the state or territory. For further information, please use the links below or contact the relevant state or territory transport department:

Complying with licensing conditions

Travel on public roads must be conducted in accordance with any licensing conditions that may apply.

Important: You must take extra care when towing a trailer or another vehicle, particularly if the towed vehicle is not fitted with brakes. This is because, with the extra mass behind the towing vehicle, your combination vehicle may be less stable, have slower acceleration, and may take longer to stop.

Maximum operating speed for agricultural combinations

The Notice states speed limits for certain agricultural combinations. The speed limits are based on the tow mass ratio between the hauling unit and the trailer. 

An agricultural combination must be operated at a speed that is the lesser of:

• A speed condition described in Table 51 and Table 52.
  • For operation under any of the conditions described in Table 51 - the applicable speed conditions in Table 51.
  • For all other agricultural vehicles and combinations - the applicable speed condition in Table 52.
• A posted speed limit.
• Any applicable vehicle manufacturer's speed limit.

Table 51: Maximum speed conditions for certain agricultural combinations

Combination type	State	Maximum speed	Speed condition
