Have never seen that model of tractor. Is it a 650 utility? Looks kind of like the WD 9's. I really like it though and wouldn't mind having one for myself. [Reply]  [No Email]

Sometimes manufacturers made models for a specific region of the country, is this the case for this one? Is it a very big model? It's pulling a good size plow so it must have quite a bit of horsepower? Thank you for the repsonse [Reply]  [No Email]

Like standard tread width rather than an adjustable row crop tractors (aka H or M) The 650 is just an updated WD-9. Same size, few more ci, live hyd, etc. They were for the wheat areas where tractors mostly did drawbar work instead of cultivating and hay work. Just like the M-SM-400-450-560 progression you have the WD-9 then SWD-9 then 600d then 650d then 660d (Drop the d and you would have a gas tractor) They also had rice versions of the tractors that had a few different options. Do some Googling on that. They are pretty cool. [Reply]  [No Email]

I thought it looked like a WD-9. I love those things, look big and beefy fat things. Really would like to have one someday. I tried to google the Wheatland 650 and didn't find any results. I didn't try really hard, to be honest. Thanks, really cool. [Reply]  [No Email]

The color is throwing me off a bit. That's the first 4 row trip plow that I can ever recall seeing. Mostly see 2 and 3 row. Patrick '49M [Reply]  [No Email]
