Depends on the ensemble and whether or not the conductor likes you. If I have a problem, I simply threaten to quit, and it works everytime. Have you played it for him/her yet?

Bydlo is oxen carrying a cart. Mussorgsky composed the movement FF, as if the wagon was right in front of you the whole time. Ravel added the dynamics to have a sense of the cart starting off in the distance, passing in front of you, and trailing off in the other direction.
