[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Mike when we were moving combines on the pavement, we had one combine that would vibrate and shake. One of the local tire guys said to start increasing both drive tire air pressure by 1 pound. If that doesn’t work then try another pound. We found out at 3 psi increase, it disappeared. Good luck. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border. Mike maybe the front flagger for the air seeder could have a sign reading “Road Blocked”.

Great video Mike safe travels

[@UniversalZoom]

Hey Mike, really happy for the new video. Always a blast watching them, even though I am not even remotely connected to farming, but it's a nice refreshing way of seeing and experiencing things that I normally would not do. About the time thing you mentioned in the video that puts people at ease, I don't think it's necessarily a set time aspect that makes things easy, but more about the fact that you have concrete information in a situation that you normally don't find yourself that often. That way, you have a piece of information that you can tie to that makes all your worries go away, but without it, your mind starts running random scenarios as this event is not something that you go through on a daily basis. Anyways, keep up the good work and looking forward to watching your videos.

Damn, some people are crazy. Here we don’t have farm equipment that big, but I think the narrow back country roads can make up for the size difference. Every time I meet a farmer, be it in a car or on my bike, I slow down, look for a good spot to stop and let them by and if this isn’t possible I creep by them. These big machines look scary and I always think that they could run over me without even struggling if they wanted to.

[@CorDawgYT]

Modern lane keeping systems might be part of the reason people don't move over. I can let go of my steering wheel for 15 seconds and my car will drive in-between the lines on its own, and the assist would try and push me back in the lane if I moved over (but I would move over anyway personally)

Owning a low-boy out there is like leaving your anchor in the water, a lowboy with a combine that broad on it will still have to pull halfway off the road and then you're dealing with a tipping hazzard and with those gaped doubles on it the truck wouldn't be able to pull over as far as the combine can.
