Fred says…hay hay get outta the way!

Sorry, Fred. When you travel out into the country side. Sometimes you have to put up with things like this.

I went to Gainsville today, never been there, anyhoo…I’m scootin along at 79 mph in a 70………AND I was that pain in the a-s slow old guy!

WHY IS A TRACTOR CARRYING CARGO EVEN ALLOWED ON A CAR ROAD?

Without Farmers, you don’t eat……

That farmer needs one of these: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/12/1016-hp-jcb-fastrac-two-clocked-at-153-mph-becomes-worlds-fastest-tractor/

Country road, take me home…

Mr Dear time to play music by “Canned Heat” …. Going Up The Country …. Woodstock live version please ;-)

Could be awhile Fred, so curl up for a nice nap

In the USA, we see the same. Agriculture machines on roads. Some are monsters/

Eventully they will get GPS systems like Garmon that will be able spot oncoming traffic around curves and double lines will be gone for good!

It is farmland. Farmland should always be tyrant free. Tyrants don’t like being held up or waiting in line. Farmers are free thinkers. You won’t like it Billy Bob. Fred, you and yours have fun. It’s your kind of land.

The green tractor is made in the USA.

Loved it when a few years ago the farmers from all over Germany drove up to Berlin for to demonstrate for being better paid for milk production. They caused quite a turmoil on the streets. Got stuck in that in Hamburg after beeing to a doctor. But never minded it. Pulled over, got my book out and read for a few hours.

After the repair of train tracks, there is also a go-slow order until the new ballast has settled.

You know some idiot will try to pass them all, happens all the time.

Where are we? Gos Low

I have seen machinery in Saskatchewan and Manitoba take up 2 or even 2 1/2 lanes. Monsters.

A nice day to enjoy the English countryside.

When I was driving thru West Virginia a few years back I saw old beat up cars on the roads with “Farm Use Only” painted all over them. Seems if a car is used on the farm property only it dose not require a license plate. Yep, quite a few zooming around.
