What type of license is required to operate Covered Farm Vehicles in North Dakota?

To operate Covered Farm Vehicles in North Dakota, a Class D License is required. This type of license is generally sufficient for operating personal vehicles and certain farm vehicles, as Covered Farm Vehicles are typically used for farming purposes and may not exceed specified weight limits.

A Class D License allows an individual to drive a vehicle that does not meet the requirements for commercial operation, making it suitable for farm vehicles used primarily for agricultural activities. Since Covered Farm Vehicles are often exempt from some of the requirements applicable to commercial vehicles, a Class D License is appropriate for their operation.

In contrast, a Class A License applies to more substantial commercial vehicles and combines units with higher weight ratings, while a Commercial License generally pertains to various commercial driving needs outside of the agricultural scope. A Class C License would be for specific types of vehicles that do not include those used for agricultural purposes. Thus, for the operation of Covered Farm Vehicles, obtaining a Class D License is the correct requirement.
