Providing you use it for your own use and don't do any hire or reward work with it you don't need an operators licence and can tax it as a private vehicle. I wouldn't recomend going for an O licence as you will need to have a CPC licence holder and keep maintanance records etc. which is a major pain in the butt and you will soon become a criminal when you get something slightly wrong.
I think you need a tachograph even for a private vehicle over 3.5 tons gross mass.
