Ray, You are right as to the use of what many call "Wheatland" tractors. They were also referred to as "Standard". They are recognized by their full fenders, low seating, although John Deere had High seat versions, Wide tread tires, and were in general made in higher HP models than the Row Crop tractors made for straddling rows of corn, beans, sugar beets, sorgum and other like crops. Row crop tractors came in the standard tricicle, wide front, single front, and Hi Clear versions. Depending on your farming operation, you may have all Wheatlands if farming only grain as in the wheat belt, or all Row crop if the operation consisted of mostly corn and other row crops but could also include wheat, and other grains. Here in Michigan, there was a cross over in that one could find both on any given farm. The Standards (Wheatlands were used primarily for Grunt work such as Plowing and fitting ground, while the Row Crops were used for planting, cultivating, and lighter work. But to answer the original post, Wheatlands and Standards were the same, while Rowcrops were just that. The other tractor that found its way was the utility type such as Ford, and Ferguson. Later on, other manufacturers built a utility version themselves. Some models of the same manufacturer made a version of a standard, row crop, high clear, and utility. Some even added a crawler to the mix.
