Panhandle of Ne.
In our case, our JD G came with this kind of front tire set up.

Then we "updated" to a JD 3010 that came with the wide front, but we also got the optional single tire front end. The reason we had a tractor with a single front was 2 reasons. We had a 4 row 38" front mount cultivator that was much much easier to put on a tractor with a single front. The other reason was a 2 row mounted IH 21 cotton stripper. {that will bring back memories to cotton farmers!} It mounted similar to a 2 row corn picker. With the single front, it would not knock the cotton off of the stalk as would the wide front when harvesting. Ahhhhhh the memories!!
