Farms.com dove into farm equipment licensing and insurance requirements for multiple Canadian jurisdictions including Ontario.
In Ontario, no license is required for a farm tractor or other self-propelled farm equipment whether on private land or public roads, but drivers must be at least 16 years old.
Operators younger than 16 can only drive farm vehicles directly across a public road.
Temporary foreign workers may also operate tractors without a license. If, however, the worker’s license from their home country is suspended, they’re prohibited from driving a tractor on a public road.
