Single front wheel was narrower, and thus easied to get down between rows. That meant less damage (shelling) of the crop when pulling the beans. Also was less likely to build up mud between NFW wheels in some soils. We didn't have a problem with that here in central Michigan, (Montcalm county), but my father-in-law had quite a bit of trouble in Eaton county - more clay soils there. Opener in front of front wheel was optional. Was like a gravel shovel mounted backside first to separate vines between rows. Most were discarded after first season as they were a pain and didn't work that well. Father-in-law preferred Farmall tractors, C, Super C, and 200's because of front mounted and individually controled lifts on each side of the tractor. He had been known to fabricate his own single front wheel assembly for these tractors just to get away from mudding up problem.
