Puttering down a one-lane country road is fine and dandy, but I take exception to the sodbusters who crawl on a state highway chuggin’ on down to the local Agway.
I pull off the 2 lane road when a combine is going to the next field, they are so big they need the whole road just to keep the wheels on the pavement. Then back on to pass the semi following the combine since it uses just one lane.
One tractor going down the road is really nothing, when the tractor is pulling a 30 ft field cultivator or a 24 row planter even though it folds up into under 15 ft wide, then it is hard to go around. Most farmers will look for an opportunity to move over if possible to let traffic pass. For goodness sakes, you’re driving on roads surrounded by farmland, what did you expect? Try driving through Wayne or Holmes counties in hilly eastern Ohio & get behind an Amish buggy or farm wagon, then you wait! But then you realize you’re the tourist & they are going about their lives & they are trying to make a living.
A-Yup, that’s the way they are in far rural Oklahoma. One farmer sets the speed limit, has ½ dozen other farmers backed up, one farmer won’t pass another farmer.
worse yet when two with the headers on come from opposite directions. Not all the crops off in time because of early snow, city slickers will end up paying more for bread.
We have farms all around us so this is common. They have to get from one place to another and usually aren’t on the road very long. You learn to be patient.

I’m not sure I get it. What do Japanese video game creatures have to do it?

What amuses me is the only vehicle truly designed for off road operation, is the one hogging the road…

Plus Caribbean English for man (or is it Scottish?). I don’t see it being Japanese, because mon is a clan or corporate insignia.
