A 36 row planter is 90 feet wide. A 24 row planter is 60 feet wide. With the long tongue on the planter the tractor driver's seat could be 50 feet or more from the end row of the planter. It's very hard to judge whether the planter is 30" from the fence or not from that distance. The first time I drove a 24 row planter I had to start a new field and plant the end rows. The owner told me it's just a little wider than a 16 row, that it's no problem. He didn't realize I had never driven anything wider than a 6 row! I did OK till I was maneuvering into a corner. The planter nicked a wooden corner post and the post tipped over like it was made out of balsa wood. I didn't even feel it in the cab. Oh, sometimes if the planter is controlled by GPS the planter doesn't sense movement right away when the tractor takes off from a stop and does not plant for a few feet till the satellite communications is complete. Tractors with radar does not have as much of a problem with this.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
