I guess that's a tough one. See what the insurance guy has to say, I guess. I've thought of replacing mine with a rounded concrete pillar like mark that property corners, but they set off of the road about 10'. Using (forming) one for a mailbox would be up at the road, and I've had the same concerns in Indiana that if I do that and someone hits it hard, would I become liable? But, I'm pretty rural, and my road was dirt until recently when a politically connected guy down the road got the county to chip and seal it. Now what few vehicals do come down the road go faster than they used to on dirt, but pretty much slow though, like 20 or 25. If they're behind me, its about 10. My bigger concern is if the snow plow guy hits it and tilts it over, then I'll have to dig down 4' or so to straighten out a 1.5' diameter concrete column. Would it be worth it? I don't know. And no one has ever damaged the angle iron one I have, so...?
Something to concider, is that even those big light posts on streets and the interstates are designed to sheer off for a reason. Your neighbor means well, don't anger him. Don't get into trouble. Whatever your insurance guy says, I guess.
I wish that guy down my road didn't get us chip and sealed (quasi-paved). Heck, with the oil poured and built up and packed down in front of the houses on my road over the years, it served as black top to cut down on dust by the houses, and almost no one that didn't live down our dirt road didn't wander down it. Now we have some wanderers. Not many, but some. Dang that guy. If he wanted asphalt he should've moved into or nearer town. I cut him slack though. He's generally a nice guy and still works his AC-WD and an Oliver 60. I still wish he hadn't done that though.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
