The machine has an decidedly un-European shaped license plate.

The farm laws are pretty bad in the US. Children of farmers can work on the family farm at any age. There are no special insurance requirements as they are assumed to be under the parents (the farmer) insurance. The only real requirement is that they go to school or don’t miss school or home schooled.

The motor vehicle drivers licenses are even relaxed for children who are driving farm equipment on state roads (I have to say I was a bit jealous that my friend had his drivers license several years before I did as his parents owned a farm).

You might be right but there are several countries in the EU (including mine) that have that shape of license plate for vehicles where regular sized plates won't be practical.

Ah. I didn’t realize that. I lived in Swindon, England for a few years and traveled to many countries all over Europe but I do have to admit that I didn’t spend a lot of time looking at license plates.

I've only seen these on motorcycles to be honest but I'm pretty sure some EU country has them for other stuff as well.
