Tractor licence: TR1, TR2, SZ and SM
📅 Updated 2026-09-06 · Skaityti lietuviškai 🇱🇹
A tractor driver's certificate is required to legally operate tractors and self-propelled machinery in agriculture and construction. Lithuanian tractor categories:
| Category | Covers | Minimum age |
|---|---|---|
| TR1 | Wheeled and tracked tractors up to 60 kW, incl. trailer combinations | Training from 15; licence valid on public roads from 16 |
| TR2 | Tractors over 60 kW | 17 (requires TR1 first) |
| SZ | Self-propelled agricultural machinery (combines etc.) | 17 |
| SM | Self-propelled non-agricultural machinery (loaders, excavators) | 18 |
How to get it
Training is provided by accredited schools; exams (theory + practical) are administered by the municipality, not Regitra. A medical certificate is required. On public roads tractor drivers follow the general KET: max speed 50 km/h for tractors, motorways are off-limits, and wide machinery needs marking and, where required, escort.
Note: a car (B) licence does not cover tractors — TR categories are a separate system.
