[AT] JD row crop with 8'(?) or 9"(?) dual rear tires

We used skeleton wheels for lister cultivating.  They stay on ridges easily.

These were for cultivating row crop planted with a lister where you had to keep the tractor tires on the ridges; if you got the tires in the furrows they were damaging or destroying the young corn or soybean or cowpea or milo maize plants.  From what little that I have read and heard, listed row crop was mostly limited to KS and adjacent states; someone please advise if my conclusion needs adjusting.
