He's got as much right to be on the road as you do. A bicycle does too. Did you have a wide load permit? A pilot car or 2? Yah, the guy could have pulled into the approach but the road isn't your private road! You had no right to curse at him. You should have politely asked him to back up into the approach. What if he would have been p'od at your attitude and just sat there and waited for you to move? If law enforcement were called, they would care less if you drove a $2,000,000 combine or a $100 beater.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
