Non compete agreements aren't usually written to attempt to keep you from competing if they let you go. Even if it were, I think that'd be real hard to challenge in court. Read the fine print to be sure.
It's just insurance for the employer, and it's perfectly reasonable. If I hire a programmer, I wouldn't want to spend all the time and money bringing them up to speed on our propitiatory software just to have them to leave six months later with our code and processes in his head to go work for our competition for an extra 10 grand a year.
You either sign a non compete or you don't get hired.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
