The R was made as a row crop but I don't think cultivators could be mounted. But it was a size that most farmers could use, the U series was way too big for most farmers. And at that time a lot of buggies yet as people did not even have cars and the buggys a lot were open so nothing was thought about a closed tractor. And MM dealers were very rare acording to IHC and Deere, even the Fordson that was the correct size for the average farm. If the moline would have been made the size of the Fordson or the McCormick 10-20 or even the Deere GP it might have sold more of them. At that time a 3 plow tractor was very rare and not needed or wanted by most farmers. Think of the Farmall F12 and how popular they were as an only tractor on the farm and then more than double the size and who would have use for something that big. Remember the average farm was only 40 acres with a big farm being 60 acres with the small farm being 20 acres. Nowe the big time operators have more acreage covered in buildings and machinery than the small farm had total.
