[AT] Row Crop

[Gene Dotson]

    Dick;
    A row crop tractor can be a narrow or wide front wheel configuration. 
What makes it a row crop is that the front and rear wheel spacing can be 
changed on the axles to match row width for crops planted in rows for 
cultivation, fertilizer and other jobes where the tractor needs to run 
between the rows.
    A utility, standard and western tractor normally has a fixed wheel 
width.
