Primary use test for tractors: incidental haulage does not convert agricultural tractors into dutiable road tractors attracting excise duty. Classification hinges on primary use: tractors primarily designed for agriculture remain exempt despite incidental haulage to nearby markets, and occasional use to tow trailers does not make them dutiable as road tractors for semi-trailers; field formations must apply the primary-use test when assessing excise liability.
