In the 40's and 50's my father and our neighbours had tractors to PULL implements, hence no 3pt hitches, but I don't ever recall refering to these tractors as Wheatland (maybe Standard).

It makes sense that the wheat farmers of the plains and praries needed larger implements and hence 3pt may have been a later development for them. However, I still like the BRUTE look of the Wheatland!
