I guess that's a tough one. See what the insurance guy has to say, I guess. I've thought of replacing mine with a rounded concrete pillar like mark that property corners, but they set off of the road about 10'. Using (forming) one for a mailbox would be up at the road, and I've had the same concerns in Indiana that if I do that and someone hits it hard, would I become liable? But, I'm pretty rural, and my road was dirt until recently when a politically connected guy down the road got the county to chip and seal it. Now what few vehicals do come down the road go faster than they used to on dirt, but pretty much slow though, like 20 or 25. If they're behind me, its about 10. My bigger concern is if the snow plow guy hits it and tilts it over, then I'll have to dig down 4' or so to straighten out a 1.5' diameter concrete column. Would it be worth it? I don't know. And no one has ever damaged the angle iron one I have, so...?
Something to concider, is that even those big light posts on streets and the interstates are designed to sheer off for a reason. Your neighbor means well, don't anger him. Don't get into trouble. Whatever your insurance guy says, I guess.
I wish that guy down my road didn't get us chip and sealed (quasi-paved). Heck, with the oil poured and built up and packed down in front of the houses on my road over the years, it served as black top to cut down on dust by the houses, and almost no one that didn't live down our dirt road didn't wander down it. Now we have some wanderers. Not many, but some. Dang that guy. If he wanted asphalt he should've moved into or nearer town. I cut him slack though. He's generally a nice guy and still works his AC-WD and an Oliver 60. I still wish he hadn't done that though.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
