I like pullups, and I always do them first, but I just dont see how they are better for growing a wide back that heavy barbell rows. Plus, I can row 225 for 4 sets of 10, but I am lucky if I can rep out 6 or7 pullups for 4 sets. So maybe I feel this way because of this.

Do you think pullups are better than heave bar rows for back development?

I do both. They do work diffent areas of the back.
Rows involve the rhomboids and traps much more and the erectors get stabilizing work, but the lat's (which are the biggest part of your upper back) get worked in both.
I think rows are better for OVERALL back developement, since the traps get worked more, but both are very good in developing the back.It's not as hard as you think it is.
Educate yourself, but stop thinking too much...
