In addition the good answers below, tractors cam about & took their current form right around the war years, when being frugal was a requirement. A narrow front end was cheaper - less iron, less engeneering. While the rest of the country boomed a bit after the war, the ag sector actually contracted as it mechanised, and those that kept farming had to push a pretty sharp pencil. Some things haven't canged. :) Another reason that you don't see new narrow fronts, is that tractors got too big. They will sink in a mud hole with a narrow front when they get to 100 hp. --->Paul
