Subject: RE: Why did tractors come with a single front wheel?


A lot of nonsense in this thread though some of you know the story. While a few may have ordered them because of mud or because they were cheapskates in 99% of the cases they were ordered for use in crops that we planted in rows narrower than 30 inch. As you can see in the photos you could leave a 20" or so row for the front and rear wheels and the rows between them could be as close as you wanted. Why didn't they just use a wide front? Probably because a single front gives you a few more inches of clearance and you could keep cultivating until the crops were up above the rear axle housing.
