A couple of local collectors imported the oddest looking tractor.
The big Deere two cylinder diesel work tractor of the day in the 70/720/730 with a narrow front?
Kind of looked like a kids tricycle pulling a plough beside our standards.
And the wide front end version's axle looked like a hurried after thought that would break off on a bump. That is it didn't fall over from a high center of gravity first.
Could not imagine 1010/2010/3010/3020/4010/4020 as a narrow rowcrop. Seen the 1st one in real life two years ago on a suburban vegetable/fruit farm with a mounted planter.
Now the little 50/520/530's used for light jobs and scuffling crops with a mounted cultivator. Never seen on of them with a wide front until again a collector imported one.
The 60/620/630 were kind of a mid size compromise tractor.Narrow row crop for the 2nd odd job tractor, never seen a wide front rowcrop. And Standard Chassis if it was the farms main work tractor.
The little Dubuques like the M,40,420,430 came in as utilites and standards. The occassional T with either wide or rollomatic fronts in tobbacco/vegatable country. Row crop utilities uncommon, V and high crops unheard of. Contractors had some JD crawlers for small jobs.
