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. :)

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha ... [Read Article]
