Sure, but slower vehicles, may they be cars or farm equipment or whatever else they may be (including bikes), can be dangerous to themselves and others by not letting traffic (that obeys the speed limit) through.
I think you captured best what I was thinking. I have also driven farm machinery quite often on this road, and it just the same. In both cases I will use the lane for as long as needed, but also in both cases I will pull over to allow others to pass. It takes no longer for me but affects them much more if I don’t.

No, I didn’t get this from that comment at all. As a bicyclist attempting to courteously share the road with others …
– I will usually try to leave room for faster traffic to pass
– I will take the whole lane, preventing passing, if necessary for my safety
— I will also pull off when safe, if I find I am being an obstruction to faster traffic
That’s all true, whether I’m cycling, driving a tractor, or there’s something wrong with my car so I’m trying to limp along to a mechanic
