That Combine was probably owned by a custom guy, and they have to move as quickly from job to job as possible to pay the bills on their very expensive machine, so please try to understand thats why they aren't are curtious on the road, because time is serious money.

Believe me, those guys don't like to mess around when it comes crop time.
