My state, up to 20 feet a farmer is good to go. Not always wise, but legal.....
I agree on common sense, but the laws rarely take that into consideration. a good cop will figure it out, a bad one will do things to the letter of the law.... There is a difference, perhaps one of the few times we might agree I think? :)
Myself, I drive the road shoulder the whole 5 miles to the elevator, state highway, concrete road, tarred shoulder. It's a narrow shoulder, but tarred & tractor & wagons fit.
I'm illegal - I'm sure I'm hard on the tar, and I'm not where I legally should be.
But, I think I'd be dead if I tried to stay in the roadway and let all those cars & semis weave around me. In my own lane, and watching very carefully, has kept me alive with some common sense.
But, what I do and what you suggest is not _legal_ if you look it up. Folks driving cars & semis are supposed to do things differently than they do.
That's all I'm saying.
The funny thing of average car driver - they will pull over onto the shoulder to let you pass with a wide header or planter - directly opposite of a mailbox or road sign - where you can't fit through! Duh. Look beside you, pick a spot to pull over where it will work for the farmer. :)
