Bom dia @Normando,

You must have a tractor driving licence (category C). Find out more at a driving school near you:

Are you sure?聽聽I thought if you had a vehicle, tractor, car, bus, moped etc. on private land and then it doesn't need a valid road test or insurance or the driver a driving licence for it to be driven/used. ?
