You are right about the narrow fronts turning tighter at the end of a row. They also tend to "plow" when turned sharply in loose soil or mud. They will also sink in mud a lot faster than a wide front, which was an option on the H and M models. It's possible to find tractors with the wide fronts but they aren't as plentiful as narrows. They allow operating the tractor on steeper inclines due to better stability.

As for the Farmalls having the engine farther forward, that's because the JD's only had 2 cylinders that ran parallel with the tractor frame.

Hope this helps.
