I left the farm at 18. My dad only had narrow front end tractors and I never operated a wide front tractor. After I left the farm, dad bought a big tractor that had a wide front and had it changed to narrow. THis was an Oliver. I think he thought it did not turn short enough with the wide front, but I am only vaguely remembering this. I was just wondering if there were any good pros and cons or was it just user preference/prejudice. I have a vac narrow and a 351 wide. That 351 steers way harder than my vac but it is nice and stable at 25mph or what ever the top speed is. Just wonderin' on this cold winter night.
