I sympathize with farmers 'cause I used to be one, but equipment sizes are getting out of hand. Farmers used to be in a race to see who farmed the most acres, now they seem to be in a race to see who has the biggest equipment.
Our gravel roads are graded and maintained so that it's not unreasonable or unsafe to drive 50-55 mph. BUT, there is a hill a half mile north of my house, and I can't count the times I've crested the hill to be faced head-on by a combine with a header spanning not only the entire road, but almost the entire right-of-way.
