Wheatland Vs Standard Vs Rowcrop

Wheatlands have big fenders and usually some kind of dust shield, standard is a lower tractor than Farmall, has smaller diameter wider wheels, some have nonadjustable front axles. Farmalls were built by IHC harvester Co, some are single front, tricycle front and adjustable wide front models....James

Wheatland and standard are the same. They are called wheatland because that type of tractor was used mostly in wheat country.
 
The 2 Wheatland tractors I grew up with in North Dakota, a IHC 1206 and a Minneapolis G 1000 did not have 3 pt hitches. Not sure if they were all that way or not. The way wheat was farmed in the 1960's and 1970's there was no need for a 3 pt. I don't remember if the axel width was adjustable or not but it would make sense that it wasn't. My guess is a Wheatland was a less expensive tractor with less options and great advertising.
 
I have had the impression for some time that the fenders and dust shields were equipment that separated wheatland from standard. Perhaps another broad type to figure out how to differentiate is utility.
 
Wheatland and standard are prettymuch the same. Low slung, wide fenders.wide tires, usually wide front end - not adjustable. Designed for pulling trailer type impliments, plows, disks, cultivators. Most did not have 3pt hitch.

Row crop tractors were higher, often smaller, designed to straddle row-crops for cultivating, etc. May be wide front end or tricycle, some times single front wheel.
 
Not really. Oliver came out with what they called the "wheatland" with the 880 models. They had always built "standards" but they weren't really based on the same platform as the row crops. They were lower to the ground,had shorter axle housings,were geared different because they used so much smaller tires. The wheatlands were built using the row crop tractor as a base. Long axle housings (not necessarily long axles,but long housings) geared the same as the row crops because they used the higher tires. They just put the non adjuatable cast wide front under them,then used more sheet metal for more dust protection. That's not opinion,that's from the article on the 880 Olivers from Hart Parr Oliver Collector Magazine.
 
John Deere sold them as "Standard" (Wheatland) and General Purpose (Row Crop)". "Wheatland", as others state, is a nickname for where many of these were used. "Row Crop" is a nickname for the General Purpose.

The Standard is typically lower slung. It is always a wide front, could be fixed or adjustable. All but the JD 830 could have 3 point hitches, it was just not common.
You will never see a single wheel or narrow front end on a Standard.

The General Purpose had many more options. It was used for various task. For instance there are five different front ends that could be on a Row Crop. Single, Double narrow, Roll-O-Matic (floating double narrow) a fixed 38 inch wide front and an adjustable wide front that would adjust from 48" to 80".
Not all of these had 3 point hitch either. There is a list of various hydraulics that could be ordred with it.

Mechanically, the two are very similar with many parts interchangable.

I personally like the GP (Row Crop) because it can be dressed out with various options that stand out.
 
Thats sorta like "nnalert are generally better looking than nnalert."

I thought it fit well here.

I"ve also heard that beauty was in the eyes of the beholder.

I assure that last statement to be true based on the quality of women that one of my roommates brings home from the bar.
 
Dont get me wrong. I'm a big fan of standards all except for having to remove half the tractor to access many parts of the tractor. It seems as if half of the repairs start with removing the seat box, fenders, platform extensions and platform.

Here is a picture of my favorite tractor. I like it because it is the only 2 cylinder I've ever owned that is not worn out.

70 with two starting levers? I like those front weights. In fact both those old girls look good in their work clothes.
If I ever get caught up around here, there is a LP project on the back burner.
 
Dad had a 1948 Oliver 99 and it was called a standard. We had an old Hart Parr in the shed and it was called "Hard to steer" LOL. It never got used for any thing except belt work.The 99 was a brute for power.It pulled a Raydex Oliver 4/16" Plow and that was a big plow back in the '50's.
 
Actually a very very late 720 with rockshaft. SN 7226???

This photo was taken on my way to help a friend turn a piece of hay ground. The trailer is hauling my 1250 and my drag. I'm sure I look like a redneck going down the road, but it works out quite well when there is no one to transport you from A to B.

You are slipping B&D. That float ride and front steps and late style tierods should have given it away. Tighten up.
 
Quote"70 with two starting levers?" Unquote.
Now just what pray tell could that mean?It means 70's were not factory equipped with two starting levers.
