A 36 row planter is 90 feet wide. A 24 row planter is 60 feet wide. With the long tongue on the planter the tractor driver's seat could be 50 feet or more from the end row of the planter. It's very hard to judge whether the planter is 30" from the fence or not from that distance. The first time I drove a 24 row planter I had to start a new field and plant the end rows. The owner told me it's just a little wider than a 16 row, that it's no problem. He didn't realize I had never driven anything wider than a 6 row! I did OK till I was maneuvering into a corner. The planter nicked a wooden corner post and the post tipped over like it was made out of balsa wood. I didn't even feel it in the cab. Oh, sometimes if the planter is controlled by GPS the planter doesn't sense movement right away when the tractor takes off from a stop and does not plant for a few feet till the satellite communications is complete. Tractors with radar does not have as much of a problem with this.

Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
