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



Back in the '50s we had an IH H that we would put a single front tire under it for planting. Tractor would follow the marker trench almost as well as GPS does today. We would also use the tractor with the single tire when chopping silage . Rest of the year we would put a regular tricycle front under it. The single front wheel was originally purchased when my uncle bought an experimental four row 20" bean planter & ywo row cultivator. The tricle front would fit between the 20" rows.
