I also run large equipment. I get over when there are too many people behind me. I mostly run sprayers for a local agronomy center, but I do run a 6620 with 6 row head and 15 foot flex head. The heads come off my "little" combine between farms. If not for safety, for the fact that it's HARD on a combine to bounce that much weight down the road. A previous poster said combines get real squirrely at 15 mph, they're a lot easier to handle if they don't have several ton of header on front.
I deal with dozens of local farmers all through the season and see two major types of farmers - The polite, "just glad to be farming" type and the "I'm a big dog and more important than everyone" type. This discussion seems to be filled with the latter. I work with both types when spraying. Let me tell you, the guys out there have 3000+ acres, "quarter million dollar" combines, 30 foot headers, double and tripled up 4WD articulated tractors, and the debt to prove it are the biggest pricks I know. WORSE than the guy in the car trying to get around you. I'd rather work with 10 guys running 350 acres than 1 guy running 3500.
My point - Take off the header! It's easier on the combine, the operator AND neighborly relations. Becoming a bigger jerk is not the way to deal with jerks.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
