Maybe I can gain some knowledge with this post.I live in south central Idaho, which is the primary agricultural area of ID. Growing up in the area in the 50s" hardly ever seen a narrow front on a tractor. The crops here are mostly Spuds, sugar beets,drybeans,malt barley,silagecorn and alphalfa. In the tractor ads of the 50-60s" era, in the southern, eastern, and midwestern states, a great percentage of the tractors had narrow fronts. You hardly ever seen them around this area in that period of time. It was either wide fronts, and an occassional single front. what was the reason in these other areas for the narrow front to be so popular.
