Also,the profile of the tractor should be low.The hoodline of a Ute sure is lower than that of a rowcrop....also,combined with underslung exhaust makes the whole tractor very low profile for getting around on chores and aiding in storage in restricted spaces.This was the theory of the Shop Mule tractors,and Cub low boys,and also the Utes.Sure makes getting on/off far easier,and less stressful (less chance of falling off and injuring one's self).
I think IH looked at the Ute as filling a niche that wasnt widely being covered,and as a 2nd tractor for farms (expanding IH's appearance on the farm)...any addition sales from garages,municipalities,state highways,or private landowners would be all the better.Most average people that dont have a farm,wont buy a rowcrop,but a Utility might be a better choice than a Payloader (for instance)...surely less expensive,and sizable.300 Utility sales beat 300 rowcrop sales,so IH was right tapping into that previously "ignored" field.
