[AT] High Clearance tractors

[Dean VP]

Brad,

 

I have a totally different subject and it would be informative I think to get a farmers perspective on it.  This is in regards to 1940/50’s “High Clearance” Tractors Not “High Crop” tractors.  There are various attributes on a “High Clearance” Tractor primarily related to extra- long axles/axle housings and offset wheel centers to offer even more width adjustability.  And often a single front wheel and even narrow 42” rear tires.  The added adjustable wheel width is quite significant but the actual axle height doesn’t significantly increase, maybe 2” at most. So my question is when you as a farmer go looking for a “High Clearance” tractor is your primary focus on the increase in adjustable rear wheel width and if so how important in addition to that is the increase in axle height?

 

 

So hopefully you can help me define a “High Clearance tractor” is one that primarily offers wider rear wheel settings and the increase in vertical axle height is secondary.
