I was happy to see that picture. It reminds me that there are tractors 
with that odd wheel setup that exist.... Here in California, I did not 
see a tractor with that strange midwest setup with two front wheels in 
the center in use until my 20s and even today they are beyond rare. Why 
are they rare? Because wide front ends were and are used for field work, 
loaders etc. and single front wheels were for cultivating, hay raking 
etc. When needing to irrigate, those twin wheels are totally useless and 
since most farming other than hills for hay or grain are irrigated 
operations, why would anyone want them. For the hills, tracks or wide 
wheels were and are used still.
