The primary design criteria for row crop tractors was the ability to cultivate row crops like corn and cotton. The narrow front end permits a zero turning radius and also eliminates the low ground clearance restriction of a wide front end. Crop clearance on row crop tractors is limited by rear axle height - that's why most row crop tractors have 38" rims. Row crop tractors also have adjustable rear axles that allow the operator to work in fields with different row spacing. Row crop tractors also have a slender hood and grille to enhance crop visibility from the operator's platform (so you don't dig up the corn). Although cultivating corn is no longer common practice, the versatility that these features give the row crop tractor has earned them a utility job on almost every farm.
