keep in mind also that when row crops were popular in the 40 to late 60's. they pulled plows. a lot of plows were 12", then 14", then 16", then 18". the narrow tires fit in the furrow better. the row spacing was commonly 40". as combines for harvesting corn became popular then row spacing went to 30". then some went to 20" or even narrower rows and left two rows out for the tractor tires. If narrow front was used would have to leave out three rows, not as pratical. The mounted pickers had to run at 40" rows, combines would work with tighter row spacing 30", 20", etc.
