And I was being careful,!. try to picture this!! coming thru the back way my sara and I came up on a old fella I know on a 4020 with a roundbale on the back approaching slowly the horse pen on the right side of the road . the paved county road was straight level and clear for a good distance the 4020 was all but stopt and all indications were that the operator was going to open the right gate and drive in,. I had broght the Lincoln down to a 20 mph or less as I started to go around wide of the 4020, thinking the operator mite run off as I do when getting off the clutch side , so I gave him a wide berth ,,. I AMM GLAD I Did !! as soon as the LINcoln was even with the rear tire I detected the 4020 steering sharp LEFT TOward ME,. I cut that Lincoln hard left into the grass and got out of the way,.. it scared us both,,.. I guess the 4020 driver did not see me when I saw him look back when I was within 50 feet of him ,,. he should have seen us !,but he had ear muffs and a turned up floppy collar because of the 20 degree temps .... funny thing was after the near miss I rolled on slowly another 1/8 mile and watched the 4020 move crossways over the county road , while bloking the entire road , the operator got off to open the gate so he could back the tractor into where the horses were waiting to be fed ,.we know one another , but he don't know that was me in the Lincoln ,. and I figure it is best left that way, I will be more watchful of him ,.. and I am glad my sara was with me so that she could ee how easily such accidents could happen .
