I am in hill country and standard tractors are a problem because of the high center of gravity. My father began changing from Farmall to Allis Chalmers in the late 40's because of the lower center of gravity and power shift wheels.

Virtually all that I see listed for sale are located in the major grain growing areas of the US and Canada.
The closest thing we had were Orchard tractors.
All information would be appreciated.
