You'd always tag it as unclassified, unless it is not a connection road and
is used only for agricultural / forestry purposes. If it is not a
connection road but used to access a certain building / facility, use
service.

E.g. this is clearly a track: http://binged.it/1odgrTZ
or this: http://binged.it/1j0zEud

in case of doubt I'd put unclassified ;-)

cheers,
Martin
