That Combine was probably owned by a custom guy, and they have to move as quickly from job to job as possible to pay the bills on their very expensive machine, so please try to understand thats why they aren't are curtious on the road, because time is serious money. I'm not sure what a combine runs, but for a "whopper chopper", those run about $250,000 for just the machine, and a head is additional, like a 6 row corn head is $60,000 for a Claas self propelled with the head design that allows the operator to chop any direction through the field. I have no clue how much a hay head runs, but the guys with the new choppers have well over $300,000 invested in just the chopper and heads and owe the bank, plus any other equipment they have to go with the buisness, such as a hay merger, tractors, silage trucks, and hired help. Believe me, those guys don't like to mess around when it comes crop time.
