Greetings,
Tractors with similar fenders have been, and are still used in the peach tree groves in the Carolinas and Georgia.

Perhaps. The later tractors had fenders to brush aside the lower branches of the orange trees.
The branches were not pruned as they provided protection from sunburn to the tree trunk. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA    |

I believe that the single front wheels are for narrow rows
Found this Farmall's with single front wheels are common here in south TX cotton fields. Apparently they planted cotton in 18" rows and the single front ends made for a great cultivating tractor. -- Ted Larson trainweb.org/mhrr/ -------- NASG.org -------- https://www.nasg.org/Clubs/RegionsMinnesota.php GN in 1965 |

Were these specialized tractors designed to work in the orange groves?
