Why no Standards?

Would someone please explain why there are no standard tread tractors pulling? I'm more farmiliar with JD, but it applies to all brands. Yes there are 820's, W-9's, etc, but when there is a tractor that was built as a standard or row crop, the row crops are used as pullers (like a 70 JD and M & W-6 IH). It seems to me that since a standard came with wider tires, ususally the same overall height as a row crop, and the extra weight could be eliminated, it would make the best puller. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.

There are two primary reasons row crops are the preferred tractor compared to standards. The row crop has a longer wheelbase. The row crop usually has a larger rear tire.
The combination of these two make the row crop a significant advantage over standards. Back to you burns

I pull a oliver 88 standard,I do pretty well with it and have beat my brothers 88rc a few times.Up until this year I have been running 14-26 tires,Just put a set of 18.4-34 rears on it.Have to see what happens,Standards do require more effort to make them pull as good as a row crop,they seem to be little harder to balance and are not as easy to change wheel/tire combo Esp.when you have 8 bolt hubs instead of 9 bolt,that cuts down on rim options.
