This happened to my coworkers

Thanks for the post. Glad your coworker is okay...This kinda crap really sucks big time. I also noticed the brain surgeon running the equipment was only 20 rears old....Great friggen idea!!! [/disgust-sarcasm]

 

24.5 feet wide, he may pay fines but I'd sue his ______ off, I grew up on a farm and moved a lot of implements when I worked for a John Deere dealer, but never pulled anything down a highway big enough to block both lanes. (Well, there was the time I moved the 24 row planter, but it just took up all of main street, not a state highway.

 

Well, you know what they used to say.."speed kills and so does a Slow farmer"

 

I thought of this thread a few nights ago as I drove north on US-81 past Belleville, KS just after midnight. Temperatures hovered just above freezing with intermittent fog. I just came through a patch of thin fog and barely made out dim tail lights ahead, going slow in the right lane. I initiated a lane change and THEN saw a dirty, barely visible reflective triangle above the dirty tail lights. THEN I saw that it was a harvesting machine hanging well into the passing lane and into the shoulder.

This was a harvesters pulled by a pickup in the middle of the night without adequate lighting or reflectors. Fortunately he pulled over into the shoulder to give me room to pass. We need to be vigilant in farming country at all times of day.

 

well somehow it will end up to be the truck drivers fault and utimately will be paying the price.

 

Dot is partially to blame too if they keep the fines small enough that he doesn't go buy a cheap light bar to go on a pick up to warn traffic .. Hopefully your friend recovers fully and learns not to overdrive his headlights
