I think with the wheel spacing you want you will have trouble with getting that in a utility models since they are limited to the wheels being dished in or out and then the width of the tire. You will not want your tires set at much less than the middle of the rows, outside of what you plant. If you are planting 30 inch rows then you will need about 120 inch wide tire setting. This is if I understood you right. So you will have to either plant rows wider than your tractor tires or plant just 2 rows unless you find a wide model or one with the long axles. This will then add increased strain on the housings. SO I think you need to look for something in the much bigger than you planned on size like a 4430Deere or 1066 IH for the axles capacity along with the tread width you are looking for. If your transplanter is ground driven you could use less throttle to obtain your slower speed for operation. More gears will also help with getting better gearing for slow speeds and close speeds. I would tend to skip over the IH tractors as the open center hydraulics with low volume pumps limit your hydraulic abilities for other vegetable tools that require hydraulic driven equipment for harvesting and such. Yes I did see the 48 inch deal. that would mean you are going to plant 12 inch rows. That will be problematic for weed work like cultivating or getting narrow enough tires to fit the rows. It would however allow you to use a more standard width tractor tire setting. 48 inches will need to include the tire width to get down the rows or about a 60 inch width centers. You're in ID look at some of the tater rows and equipment for tread width for what I'm saying.
