[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7810754, member: 71668"] a LARGE reason for “why that wide” in an Australian situation is for trash flow from the previous crops residue. Zero till is pretty much the default / standard farming system here & a crucial part of that is leaving as MUCH of the previous crop residue / stubble & groundcover as we can, to protect the soil & conserve moisture. So - zero till machines here, right from the early home made / modified cultivators in the late 70’s through to the latest hundreds of thousands of $$$$ machines, all have wide row spacings for maximum trash flow. Also, if you are running independent / parallelogram type row units at anywhere from $2000 - $5000 per row unit, over a 12 metre / 18 metre or wider machine, row spacing makes a significant difference to the cost ( & weight ) of the planter . . .
