If it was the tractors fault, I hope the family gets the farm and then some. You listed every excuse immaginable why the poor tractor operator had to kill this motorcyclist. Slow moving tractors kill people around here all the time and more times then not are at fault for creating a dangerous situation. I watch them turn across traffic, fail to stop at signs, and generally think they own the highways even though they pay nothing in fuel taxes that builds the roads.
You are right....I drive my tractor 5 miles to my farm several times a year on country roads...I hate doing it...but I have all the warning signs etc. ....I have seen farmers who are very careless, drop wads of hay all over the road...drag equipment on the road and tear up the asphalt..etc. and as you say I have seen them make dumb dangerous moves on their tractors ...there are some careless tractor operators out there...at least I have seen them...inconsiderate ones as well...
