Glenster & Cowman are correct. Wide front axles didn't have enough clearance to cultivate taller corn without breaking off the stalks. This was back in the day of planting on beds instead of flat planting not to mention notill & RR seeds. When I was a youngster my Dad took me out of school to cult beds in front of the other tractor that was equipped with a 2 row frt mounted planter. Then later after corn and cotton was up the crops were cultivated 2-3 times to control weeds & grass plus my days of walking up/down rows with a HOE. My Dad also thought corn must be cultivated to stimulate growth & production.
Plus my Dad bedded and re-bedded several time before planting. Re-bedding required the 2 frt narrow wheels to be reversed so frt tires would straddle the top of a bed. This was attempted with wide frt axles with little success because 3 rows must be straddled for rebedding instead of 2.
