I believe you are correct. He had long wings out the sides of the unit spraying something. This was in early November just before I left.

I have never seen a tractor of any type that had a single front tire. That was different for me.

Thanks for taking a look and commenting.

Lots of the older tractors have single front wheels. This machine is a purpose built sprayer,built only for spraying fields, can not be used for other purposes. See a lot of them around here.

Dennis, job well done..! I believe that farming is underappreciated by the younger generation. It takes a large investment and a lot of hard work as well as a blessing of good weather. I truly wonder who will be feeding the nation in the decades to come.

It's also great to see a farmer growing a food product like potatoes instead of a cash crop of subsidized corn. A recent broadcast stated that America grows on average the equivalent of 2,000-lbs. of corn for every man, woman, and child in America yet we import the majority of the fruits and vegetables that we eat every day.

Thanks for some fine comments. I agree about farming. When I lived in Colorado I knew many ranchers whose children did not want to be in the cattle business. It looks romantic on the surface; for many it still is. But for others there is no money and it is a hard job to do year after year.

Thanks. I know many had a single front wheel but I have never seen a large single front wheel like a tricycle balloon tire. It was just new to me.

I appreciate the fine comments regarding my photos.

As for thanking the farmer, he was just someone driving a tractor along Hwy. 15 NB North of Idaho Falls. I am also in CA now temporarily. I might try to look him up in April or May though.
