Just curious, but when I see pictures of H's and some other old farmalls I see 2 wheels on the front end but here in the Texas panhandle all the tractors I've seen on the farm have a single wheel? Differences in types farming? Row crops around here.
Jest cratching mah head... : )

When I was farming with my Dad in the Yellowstone Valley on the Montana-North Dakota border area, we had single, double, and wide fronts for our H's depending on the situation.
The single was easier steering and needed for row crops like sugar beets. Worked great for mowing also.
The double tire front would carry more weight and was used when working with the loader.
The wide front was sometimes used in harvesting or when wet conditions prevailed.
So take your pick; they all work just fine.

Brian,
The single front wheel was a popular option for using the tractor with a cotton stripper. The dual front wheels tended to knock boles off the plant. I have known some folks who had both boldters and changed them as required

I've also noticed that the single wheel works much better in a wet climate. The dual wheels will plug with mud while the single won't.

We used single fronts for cultivating narrow row crops such as vegetables (south Texas). Could also be used for sorghum, corn, cotton in your area. For tillage, the dual front gives much better flotation in loose soil, so we switched to that when we were done cultivating.
