 would make the tractor worth more .U can buy a CA narrow front just about anywhere and put it on .I know its what ever floats your boat ,But what's your opinion on it making it worth more or less ..

I like narrow front tractors so to me a D12 narrow front looks nice. Not sure about value but would be a handy raking tractor. Tom

I cant see how it would increase the value ?  Might be a few applications, but i think the wide front would attract more people.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I have seen a narrow front D12. It looked cool. Not sure what it would do to the value but it would be a novelty at a show ! 
Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

Does it bolt up easily. It would look neat but like the others said, not sure what value would be.

For some reason I am attracted to the narrow fronts from a looks stand point.  I have them for antique tractor pulling. But I would prefer to work with a wide front tractor. As far as value. I would doubt that someone would pay a lot more for a narrow front? Maybe a few hundred?

I like the looks of it too.  Have no idea on more or less value.  It only takes two people to want it to make it more valuable.

I would help with the lack of sharp turning ability on the wide fronts.

hmm.... would help with the lack of sharp turning ability on the wide fronts.

never owned a NF so

question. How does a NF turn sharper than a WF, providing you hard brake a WF rear wheel, doesn't a WF turn 'back' onto the stopped wheel  so it then drives where it was ?
probably one of those  'gotta see a picture' thing for me....
just curious...

The D12 hits the steering stops quickly, I am not sure the degree, but it is far less than a D15 or D17
My CA (Narrow) will turn on a dime (No hitting the brakes)

I think it looks great too. I don't think it will increase the value, but might be more useful to a farmer.

The more I look at it, the better I like it! Might try one myself. It would be a great cultivator tractor. Tracy
