We live in a major arable area so there are tractors all day long on my routes. I have to say I end up overtaking folks who are right up the backside of tractors every day.
This only happens because they are too close so can't see, in the wrong gear or indecisive. My car is no ball of fire so if I've got round the tractor first from a couple of cars back then it's because the others are missing opportunities.
I do keep the speed differential down and a thumb is resting on the horn just in case. Also even once I've crossed the white line I still give the cars in front every opportunity to come out in front of me at the last safe moment should they wish.
