All this said, I dont like roading a machine. Its really easy for people to come up behind you and you dont notice, between engine noise, tire noise, the bouncing, ect.
Don't let them pass left. If you are making a turn get centered on that yellow line. I've cut people off that thought they could pass when making a turn and have got them close to rubbing guard rails when they insist they will make it.I put a few hundred miles a year on paved roads towing wagons including through town.
I'm running a 71 HP tractor with 25 MPH gearbox, have to downshift on the hills with empty wagon, drop 5 gears when loaded on steepest climb I have, 7 MPH or so loaded uphill. Pulling several ton on wagon.
I really don't care if people pass me as long as it's clear.
Worst thing is people passing you when turning left. I have full signals including turn signals on wagons. Those mean nothing to some drivers.
