Farmallb: These discussions about narrow front versus wide front as usual are quite useless. These old tractors had relatively light chassis compared to new tractors of the same hp. If they were not balasted correctly, they were all quite dangerous narrow or wide front.
Couple that with the fact most large tractors had wheel tread set on 72" centers for 36" rows, some even wider. Narrow front did not disappear for safety reasons, but rather consumer demand. That consumer damand changed due to herbicides and less row crop cultivation. The combine also put the mounted corn picker out of commission. Another factor was improved wide fronts that didn't require an acre to turn. Probably the three biggest reasons narrow front disappeared.
