In the discussions on the different front end versions of row crop tractors, the main arguments exchanged are on stability, maneuverability and esthetics. What I miss are the pros and cons of WFE and NFE tractors when it comes to plowing. I've done a lot of plowing with WFE tractors and steering was child's play. A tractor with a NFE would, IMHO, be difficult to steer, because the front wheel is not physically guided along the furrow and how accurately the tractor goes parallel to the furrow depends on the skills and vigilance of the driver. In pictures of plowing NFE tractors they always appear a bit "nose up"; doesn't this make the adjustment of the plow more difficult? Your views and comments are highly appreciated. Regards, Hendrik.
