When I went through the county tractor safety program when I was 12 (10 years ago), they said the best thing to do is hog the lane. In the spring shoulders are soft and you can and will go into the ditch, often rolling a tractor. If you are closer to the shoulder but still in the lane, they still feel like they can pass, even if it's not safe and they don't have room. By hogging the lane they have to check to be sure it's safe before they try to pass. I will pull off to the side if I'm pulling something I can see behind, like a disk or manure spreader or something, but if I can't see around a wagon I'm pulling, I just stay in the lane and expect 20 cars to pass. It's not a problem until I'm ready to pull into the farm drive, then my best shot is to have some on comming traffic where I have to stop or slow down, so they know I have to turn. If the oncoming lane is clear who knows what will happen. That's another reason I prefer to pull wagons at night- I can see the lights behind me if there are any, so I can safely know if I can turn or not. The intersection we always have to go through just got safer. they made it a round-a-bout, so all traffic has to yeild and it akes getting on the main drag (a sate highway) much easier.

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
