In the high desert, prairie pothole region of ND, the wheatland tractor was the norm and the row crop was the rare oddball, except for the red river valley area. Most wheatland tractors are low to the ground, with a low, non adjustable wide front axle, rear tred is non adjustable, and rear fenders are wide with nearly the top 180 degrees of the wheel covered to block dust and dirt. The draw bars are usually the wide swing roller variety, with a 3 pt being very rare. Mounted or semi mounted impliments were never popular here except for the little AC tractors.
When row crops like sunflower became popular in the 70's, many fabrication shops did a good business making add on 3 pt hitches and the machinery jockeys imported semi loads of used row crop tractors from the row crop states. Now with the roundup ready row crops, no one cultivates, so row crop tractors are again not much in demand.
