Tramline track widths?

[Steevo]

Is 72” still the most common?

Always thought it was the standard but had a couple of drill demos that were set on 78”.

Are the big boys moving more towards 78”?

Most around here on steep ground with big gear are at 80". A local spray contractor says most of his 24m customers are still at 72". A Kuhn AGT pneumatic spreader belonging to another neighbour won't go any narrower than 88.5" Just as well when you see how top heavy it is...

We went from 60-72 a few years ago and then moved to 80. On very narrow 9.5r48 row crops on SP sprayer an it feels like a different machine on 80 compared to 72. Much more stable on road and in the field.

I thought it was just for a visual guide. Completely agree though.

I find life much simpler now I don’t put tramlines in with the drill.
