Is is that time of year again? Friday night I followed a combine with a grain table wide enough to tickle the grass on both sides of the road at the same time. He had an escort? of a pickup with flashers on. This morning my wife had to get almost in the ditch meeting 2 more heading her way. Tonight coming home from work on a hilly blacktop I followed another with the same setup but no escort. He pulled off partly to let one car meet him, but shortly after that he didn't bother. Since he was stopped, I thought he might let me and 4 other vehicles pass him, but I was wrong. We followed him at least another half mile up and down several hills. He was off on the shoulder and about 6' over the center line of the road and the oncoming car had to get way off on the shoulder. I think in this state there is no limit on agricultural machinery width, but they are required to yield one half of the roadway. What are your opinions. I do know that header carriers are available to haul the headers. Are these people above the law, or what? A friend of mine hit a combine head on back in 1970 and demolished her dad's car and the grain table. It was a wonder that she wasn't hurt. And that was only a 15' grain table as was most popular back then. Or are these guys so lazy that they are willing to risk someone else's life to save a little time in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
