Yeah if you are plowing and at the end of a row, turn loose of the wheel and stomp the brake....but my pastures are in grass for my haying operation so I'll stick with wide. I had 1 in 43 years of trying to learn how to do this farming thing.
 
We missed two local rides that the club had Saturday. My grand daughter and her fiancee just got their PhDs from Western Michigan University and are moving to Lexington Ky next week for their postdoctoral work, so my daughter had a graduation/going away party for them.

One of the other members called and said the morning and afternoon rides were both awful dusty. The charity auction Saturday evening raised over $1400. Kim donated two flats of tomato plants like she always does. We usually have the whole thing Memorial Weekend though, so there's more demand for the tomatoes earlier.

Next ride is July 4th around Crystal Lake. I hope nobody has anything else for us to do that day. I think I liked it better last year when tractor rides were about the only social activities that were going on. We made it to six of rides and two plow days. We'll be lucky if we get to do three this year.
 
I just got home Sunday evening from the Saturday/Sunday Butterfield Illinois ride. Saturday was 76.5 miles and Sunday 65 miles, PLUS the drive home on the tractor 103 miles. Next weekend should put the Ford over 1,000 miles total of the 2021 5,000 mile goal. Still have several rides to do, drive to Rockville IN, Rantoul IL, and to the Mackinaw Bridge will hopefully have a good turnout.
 
My personal preference for tractor rides is a wide front. I had never had one until about 5 years ago.
