I wonder if the tractor had the flashers on too.

During beet harvest it sucks when you would see farmers moving their lifters and toppers to different fields in the middle of the night with flashers that either weren't on or didn't reach the extremities of the equipment. That being said, too many people don't pay attention on the road.

I try to keep it to 75 when passing farm implements. It really does bug me when people don't give machinery the room that they need.

I agree that people do not care about farm equipment. I wad in an accident with a tractor and a ahole in a Fiero. The tractor won and the guy got a ticket and his but kicked by the semi driver behind him. I was only 11 when it happened.

Well Jay you should be pleased to know that I rescued the snowmobile trail groomer again today! He was stuck bad enough this time that I had to call the other wrecker in town to come help me but between the two of us we got him out after an hour of work!
Good job Troy.

I will keep you posted. I thought I had a line on a $40 track but it appears to have fallen through. I still need to get a price on my shock rebuild. The thing literally came apart into 5-6 pieces.
