What is ideal tread setting for Farmall 100/140

Posted by Ramon from NC on May 01, 2005 at 19:36:19 from (64.102.254.33):

So do people really change their tread settings on their tires to accomodate different implements or do they just leave them the same all the time. I talked to several old farmers and not one of them has ever adjusted his tire widths settings. What is the most common tread setting?
On a related topic, I have heard folks talking about varying the widths of their row crops. Assuming we are talking about single row cropping, what other variables are involved in setting the widths other than tread setting. I always assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that when doing my next row, I was simply placing the right tire into the left tire track from the previous run. If that's the case, then my rows can be no closer than my tractor's tread setting. Am I missing something???
Thanks!!
Ramon
