What amber rotating light does a tractor need according to current regulations?

If you operate a tractor on public roads or in work areas near vehicle traffic, you should be aware that the use of an approved amber beacon is mandatory in certain situations. This beacon alerts other drivers of the presence of a slow-moving vehicle or one requiring special maneuvers, thus reducing the risk of accidents.

Is rotary indicator mandatory on tractors?

Yes. According to the General Vehicle Regulations and road safety regulations in Spain, agricultural tractors must be equipped with at least one amber rotating beacon visible in 360° when:

• They circulate on interurban roads.
• They carry out work on or next to the track.
• They transport machinery or trailers that exceed standard limits.
• They operate in low visibility conditions or at night.

In addition, the device must comply with the technical requirements of the ECE R65 regulation and bear approval marking.

What type of rotary is recommended for a tractor?

Tractors often require robust, high-performance, and easy-to-install rotary engines . The most practical options are:

• DIN-mount beacons : Easily install on the standard base of many tractors. See our collection of DIN-mount models .
• Approved LED beacons : longer lifespan, low consumption, and maximum visibility in open fields or on the road. Explore the amber emergency beacons available at Autowin24.

Avoid unapproved or low-power models, as they may pose a legal and safety risk.

How many rotaries should a tractor have?

Regulations require at least one rotating beacon to be visible from all angles. However, on large tractors or tractors towing machinery, it is recommended to install two devices to ensure full visibility.
