How far did they travel down the road? I assume if they were at least 4 ft over the center, there was no oncoming traffic. In Ohio, you have to have the outer most edges of equipment marked with flashing lights after dark. Was that done?
We've been known to run down the road, a mile on a state route, with the head on. We wait until we are clear, so we don't back up too much traffic, and we can always get over to stay on our side of the road. If nobody is coming, and we are going to turn across traffic , we'll run down the center..... it keeps people coming up behind from passing as we turn.
We aren't BTO's, but we have the same job to complete. If we are on our side of the road and properly marked with flashing lights, we are good to go. If you are confused as to what was going on, I think your responsibility is to follow until things become clear.
We try not to do things like this, but weather and number of people to move to the next field sometimes play a factor. If the traffic is light, we will go for it. We don't inconvenience people on purpose, but if it happens, it happens
I'm just wondering why this is more or less dangerous because the guy is being described as a BTO? If he farms less or has older equipment, would it be OK?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
