Could it be that crop clearance was a necessity for cultivating crops well into their growing season, back in the 40's and 50's when these were built? Where as now we have herbicides to control weed from very early in growth. Think about an H Farmall, you were probably still cultivating the weeds out of corn when it was 24" tall in 38" rows before the corn could shade out them out. Now one pass of Roundup when corn is 10" tall and in 30" or maybe even 24" rows. Anything later use a high crop sprayer.
I fall into the hobby farmer category and spent much of this year on a search like you are doing.

It will be my last working tractor (still dragging home the antiques) so I needed to get something that would last and I could work on if need be. Crop clearance wasn't a factor for me, might be for others.
