I guess that's a tough one. See what the insurance guy has to say, I guess. I've thought of replacing mine with a rounded concrete pillar like mark that property corners, but they set off of the road about 10'. Using (forming) one for a mailbox would be up at the road, and I've had the same concerns in Indiana that if I do that and someone hits it hard, would I become liable? But, I'm pretty rural, and my road was dirt until recently when a politically connected guy down the road got the county to chip and seal it. Now what few vehicals do come down the road go faster than they used to on dirt, but pretty much slow though, like 20 or 25. If they're behind me, its about 10. My bigger concern is if the snow plow guy hits it and tilts it over, then I'll have to dig down 4' or so to straighten out a 1.5' diameter concrete column. Would it be worth it? I don't know. And no one has ever damaged the angle iron one I have, so...?
Something to concider, is that even those big light posts on streets and the interstates are designed to sheer off for a reason. Your neighbor means well, don't anger him. Don't get into trouble. Whatever your insurance guy says, I guess.
I wish that guy down my road didn't get us chip and sealed (quasi-paved). Heck, with the oil poured and built up and packed down in front of the houses on my road over the years, it served as black top to cut down on dust by the houses, and almost no one that didn't live down our dirt road didn't wander down it. Now we have some wanderers. Not many, but some. Dang that guy. If he wanted asphalt he should've moved into or nearer town. I cut him slack though. He's generally a nice guy and still works his AC-WD and an Oliver 60. I still wish he hadn't done that though.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. 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
