You are corrrect about the unequal spread of row crop style tractors across the U.S.

I came from the western part of the state of Kansas where the yearly amount of rainfall limits the growing of row crops. Wheat was the primary crop and the row crop front ends were simply not needed nor were 3 point hitches. Three point hitches didn't really start showing up on tractors in my area until the 1960s, except on the small Ford tractors which were few in number.

With chemical tillage came the ability to grow non-traditional crops in the lower rainfall area. Now all of the new tractors come standard with 3 point hitch, now a necessity whereas it used to just be an additional cost with little benefit.
