Tillage farmers are out in the fields harvesting at this time of year. There is a higher preponderance of tractors, often with wide trailers, and combine harvestors on rural roads. For drafting these have the ideal combination of being relatively slow and having a wide girth. If you are lucky you can draft for a couple of miles. </p>
