You are not going to hurt the tractor, 68 inches is not very much. Your wheels should be adjusted so that they run in the center of the furrows for whatever row width you use. Although the A is considered a one-row tractor, that was when people planted corn, etc in 40 inch or wider rows. Where I live 30 inch rows are common for row crops, meaning with the tread at 60 inches you can straddle two 30 inch rows. I forget what it is you want to cultivate. We used a B to cultivate vegetables in 20 inch rows. You would not want the tire tread width wider than 10 inches (11.2-24 is the tire size) in that situation. Nine inch tires (9.5-24) would be better. You can straddle 3-20 inch rows with the wheels set at 60 inches or 2-20 inch rows with them set at 40 inches. The narrow row spacings were for short growing crops such as table beets, carrots, onions, turnips, radishes, etc.
