How measure tire width/setting?

Posted by Kevin Tree on May 20, 2012 at 21:08:54 from (64.134.170.165):

How do I measure the width of the current setting of the tires on my tractor? I'm trying to figure out if my tires set for 30 inch rows or 36 inch rows.

I'm going to plant about 5 acres in soybeans and cultivate it (instead of spraying pesticides)

The guy who is going to plant it, says his equipment is set up for 30 inch rows.

Now I'm trying to figure out if my IH 544 is set up for 30 or 36 inch rows, so I can run it down the rows of planted soybeans.

How would I measure this? From the center of one front tire to the center of the other? Then calculate if that number is a multiple of 30 inch or 36 inch?

Then do the same for the rear tires?

Also, where can you buy older equipment, like a 4 row cultivator? Anyone know where are dealers that sell older equipment, in north Missouri or southern Iowa?

Thank you
