I have about 1/2 mile, 90 ft wide utility easement on my property that some people seem to think is open for ATV, snowmobile, hunting, etc. I have followed groups of ATVers who told me it's a) the utility company's land, b) it's their "father-in-law's land" (FIL is abutting property owner) c) they've "always ridden there".
I politely explain it's MY land. All have been sober, calm, understanding, polite and respectful once I explain. I am in the process of fencing the property line this year so it's CLEAR that the area is private property. Signs don't mean much.
As for the OP incident, the snowmobiler should have been a) driving with a headlight b) sober c) driving in control, meaning he could stop his sled if encountering an unexpected object like a fallen tree, broke down sled, etc. For my money: the farmer was not at fault. What if the tractor broke down due to electrical problem (i.e. no lights could be powered). Sledders must be prepared for the unexpected.
They drive down our dirt (county road) at high speeds all the time. If you pull out of a driveway, they'll be on you in a heartbeat.
