It's not always easy to see a tractor. If there's hills or curves in a road, the tractor could basically disappear from view. Doing 60 mph on a hwy. or 50 a country road, you can come up on a tractor really fast. I came close to hitting a big JD with duals and a cab. It was very dark and I did see 2 bright headlights in front of me. I figured it was a tractor or something similar because the lights were mounted high on the cab. It was a 2 lane secondary hwy. and I thought the tractor was in the other lane coming towards me. I did slow down some but still came up on the tractor pretty fast only to realize that it was in my lane going the same direction I was. Luckily no one was coming the other way and I could swerve around the tractor. The lights on the cab pointing back were blinding and there was no way to tell that the tractor was in my lane. The driver of the tractor should have turned the REAR lights off so that his blinking orange lights would have been visible. I saw the same tractor a few weeks later and maybe the guy smartened up because he had the rear lights off. He was coming the other way though but I looked back and could see the flashing marker lights. Sorry for the long post but my point is that sometimes the tractor or equipment driver is at fault or negligent even if he is only going a 1/4 mile down the road to his field. Anyone driving a tractor on the road should take every precaution to avoid being hit. Dave

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.
