I never heard that explanation before but I would tend to think there is some merit to the argument. It is really only in the later years that I have heard them referred to as Wheatland tractors. Years ago they were called "standards" as in standard tread. The first I heard of them as "Wheatland" was whem IHC brought out the 460 as a special model called "Wheatland Special". To me the reference to Wheatland as a design/style designation has come into use more with the tractor hobby simply because it provides an easy descriptive term when referring to that type of tractor. I'm from an area where the wheatland/"standard" style was predominate so I may not know what they were called in the areas where "row-crop" tractors (IHC H, M; JD A, B, G, etc.) dominated. Maybe we could hear from the guys (like me) that remember from say 1955 or prior.
