Why do some tractor drivers refuse to pull over?

I've just spent a frustrating 45 minutes behind a tractor. It was an otherwise empty road and he had plenty opportunities to pull over and let me past

Cos a lot of em are driven by c***s! Anyway, you should know better than to complain, They own the roads, along with caravanners!
i used to know a farmer - he told me it was fun to watch the cars build up behind his tractor
For the same reason that some people driving in front of you insist on driving ten miles an hour below the speed limit, yet speed waaaaayyy up if you try to pass them so they can slow back down.
Perhaps he was in a hurry. Or perhaps he was trying to hit on you. Or pehaps he was just being nasty / vicious.
Because if they did theuy would forever be pulling over and it would take them 10 x as long to get anywhere!!!

Chill out let the farmer do his job!
They must get so many people beeping and honking at them that they become immune and ignorant.
Why didn't you go around? 45 minutes!!
Did you thank him for growing your food?
Because he has somewhere to go too, why should he be late getting to where he needs to just because you are impatient? And I find it hard to believe that in 45 mins. on an 'otherwise empty road' you didn't have one chance to legally pass him?!
If it was an empty road, why didnt you just pass him?

Maybe the tractor driver was on a schedule and was in a hurry to get to where he had to go. By the time you got behind him he might have been pulling over several times throughout the day.
Sometimes you have to ignore the lines and pass when you get a chance to do it safely. I can't believe there was no opportunity to pass during that 45 min.

He could have driven on the shoulder a little too, but maybe there was a ditch or something preventing it.
He pays his road tax, so there for entitled to be on the road!
He has a job to do also.
Maybe he had a row with his wife, he's pig headed, he's dumb, he's blind, deaf? Some are like that but I think the majority pull over, just put it down to him having an off day.
because he has the right-of-way.
