The "Tricicle" type was called a " row-crop" for obvious reasons...you could get thru much taller crops to cultivate, spray or whatever without breaking the crop down....!!!
Also, mounted equipment was more available for them....
As for the 2 vs 1 wheel question....John Deere has THE set-up....Roll-A-Matic.....!!!
They rode smoother, and the steering wheel seldom broke an ARM...!! (WD owners always have BIG forearms--from Gripping the steering Wheel.!!)
Ask any WD owner about that.!!!!
The Camber built into the 2 wheel set-up helped in turning...less wheel slippage...
Single front wheel may have been easier to steer than two, but the front end bounced real bad on rough ground.!! And mud in the yoke would bind the tire--and eventually ruin the tire if not cleaned out..!!
