from germany, where the spring seems to show up... hopefully

I came from the western part of the state of Kansas where the yearly amount of rainfall limits the growing of row crops. Wheat was the primary crop and the row crop front ends were simply not needed nor were 3 point hitches. Three point hitches didn't really start showing up on tractors in my area until the 1960s, except on the small Ford tractors which were few in number.

With chemical tillage came the ability to grow non-traditional crops in the lower rainfall area. Now all of the new tractors come standard with 3 point hitch, now a necessity whereas it used to just be an additional cost with little benefit.

Welcome to the forums.

They got their start here in the US with the Farmall Regular. This was a era when the motor cultivator was in it's infancy. IH just happened to hit on a idea that caught on.

To answer your question simply Row crops have been a major player in the US for years and the narrow front design worked well with the front mount cultivators and corn (maize) pickers here.

hope this answers your question.
