It can get interesting transporting machinery here too even on the grid 
roads. Our only advantage is that we generally don't have the heavy traffic 
flow to deal with. I can drive the 8 miles to my brother's farm sometimes 
without meeting a single vehicle. Other times it seems like everybody 
decided to drive at the same time as I am moving machinery and it means many 
stops to pull over and let the faster traffic by. I think its the general 
consensus that big slow machines should pull over onto an approach if 
possible to let cars or trucks by. There are always a few exceptions though.
