Here in Iowa, especially in the flat parts of the state we used to have a lot more narrow front tractors than any other configuration,and I've always thought 'narrow front'and 'trycicle' front were one and the same. It just depends what you are cmfortable with.A single wheel seems to be called 'single wheel front end', at least here in Iowa. Some people around here used to take off the two wheeled narrow front and put on a single wheel to get through mud better. Two wheeled narrow fronts plug up with mud and then they won't turn. A single wheel will also be used for crops that are planted in narrow rows.As far as stability goes, the narrow front tractor is more tipsy and needs to be driven more carefully. I have heard it called a 'widow maker'. Jim
