Whether big or small, tractors hauling equipment down the road face an even greater danger than farming itself: bad drivers . . .
Join WTFarm Girl as she precariously winds through the country backroads to get to one of her leased fields on her John Deere 5410 tractor.
In Michigan, operating agricultural equipment is lawfully acceptable and tractors and cars alike must continue to follow set laws.
Passing in a no passing zone is illegal in Michigan, since oftentimes the no-passing zone is in a low-visibility area where passing someone is dangerous.
While it's not pointed out in the video, I am using my 4-way hazard lights along with a SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign both on my tractor and on my implements.
This video was not posted to start an argument, just as a general glimpse into what it's like driving a tractor down the road to work on a field.

Join Farm Girl on her many CRAZY adventures on their NEWLY BUILT family farm on 87 acres in Western Michigan. Born and raised a city-girl, she's finding out everyday what's she's made of as she struggles to make sense of the farming life!
With plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor and lots of mischief, you never know what you'll watch next!
While dairy farming runs thick though the veins of both her grandparents and her boyfriend Erik's grandparents, this is their FIRST real experience running a farm!
With the ever-present threat of agricultural and small farming practices dying-off, Farm Girl shows that anyone can keep old traditions alive with a bit of grit and determination (and maybe some crying).
