My state, up to 20 feet a farmer is good to go. Not always wise, but legal.....
I agree on common sense, but the laws rarely take that into consideration. a good cop will figure it out, a bad one will do things to the letter of the law.... There is a difference, perhaps one of the few times we might agree I think? :)
Myself, I drive the road shoulder the whole 5 miles to the elevator, state highway, concrete road, tarred shoulder. It's a narrow shoulder, but tarred & tractor & wagons fit.
I'm illegal - I'm sure I'm hard on the tar, and I'm not where I legally should be.
But, I think I'd be dead if I tried to stay in the roadway and let all those cars & semis weave around me. In my own lane, and watching very carefully, has kept me alive with some common sense.
But, what I do and what you suggest is not _legal_ if you look it up. Folks driving cars & semis are supposed to do things differently than they do.
That's all I'm saying.
The funny thing of average car driver - they will pull over onto the shoulder to let you pass with a wide header or planter - directly opposite of a mailbox or road sign - where you can't fit through! Duh. Look beside you, pick a spot to pull over where it will work for the farmer. :)

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
