Right. And from what I recall helping my Dad on the farm in the 50's and 60's with the sooped up M, the narrow front allowed you to turn 180's and 90's better by locking one of the breaks and turning (and without catching a front wheel in a fence or ditch). That was the major reason for the swinging drawbar for wheelless equipment. For a wheeled disc you picked it up (with the lift all), turned a 180, and layed it down all while full throttle. Great fun to see how close you could get and how smooth you could make the turn. The better you could make the turns and the more straight you could make your passes the shorter time it took to cover a field.
