Rick, Generally speaking, a row crop tractor is a tractor that is designed to work crops that are planted in rows like 36", 38", 40". Utility and standard/wheel/wheatland type tractors are designed to work broadcast or drilled type crops not in rows or do primary tillage like disking, etc. In the IHC tractors, generally speaking, row crop tractors are Farmalls. They have a high profile to allow crop clearance, tall 38" rear wheels on axles that slide to allow fitting various row widths and either narrow front ends with one or two wheels for crop clearance or a wide front axle which generally has more clearance than axles on non row crop tractors. In the IHC tractors, McCormick or International are generally either; industrial, utility, or standard/wheel/wheatland tractors. These tractors have a low profile, generally shorter wheelbase, front axle may or may not be adjustable for width, and rear axle is generally not adjustable. The operator generally sits low on these tractors whereas he sits high fo the Farmall. Some models of the International were available as Hi Utilities. These tractors retained the short wheelbase and low seating but had taller front axles and the Farmall type adjustable rear axles and 38" wheels which made them a row crop utility. The true High Clear Farmall's were Farmall tractors equipped with taller front axles and drop type rear housings to give them additional height in order to work in tall row crops like sugar cane. Hope this helps and does not confuse you. Harold H
