I don't disagree, but the standard or wheatland tractors were bought by farmers who only wanted to pull implements, and did not care about the bells and whistles. I have said before, and still believe (I can't prove it) that the 300U was intended to compete with the Ford 8N and Ferguson 30 type tractors (or the newer models, don't know the numbers), and other utility-type tractors. At about that time all manufacturers began to manufacture utility versions along with row crop versions of most of their "small" tractors. IH did phase out the W4/SW4 type tractor and replace it with the 350 wheatland, which is probably more similar to the 350U than the 350 row crop, or the SW4. There was no 300 wheatland, though. The larger W Series 6 and 9 continued on with the W400, and W600 series thru the 560 and 660. After that it seems that the wheatland tractors began to take on more charactersitics of the row crop versions, until only the row crop remained -- even then some models were sold with only a drawbar, for the farmers who did not want to pay for a hitch they would never use.
