Will someone who is knowledgeable on the subject please explain what makes a Wheatland model different from a standard or row crop series of Tractor? Are there any advantages to pulling with a wheatland model? Have any wheatlands had dealer engine conversions?

The wheatland models are very sturdy fronts ends and can take lots of abuse. I have found the spindles to hold up very well with a front end loader so long as you keep the bale weights closer to 1000 lbs then 1500 lbs. I recently bought an 1850 that had never seen a loader and the front end is as tight as a new pick ups would be. The only problem I have is when I am haying and I get tangled up with a high swath. Clearance is less than that of a newer high bar front end. It is especially bad when I have rolled two together with the V-rake. I have built a very crude guard out of sheet tin which I connect to the bolts on the front frame and suspend under the center of the tractor with wire. This allows me to glide over the fluffy swath and it actually compresses the swath somewhat making it easier for my Hesston to bale it. It also reduces how much swath I drag with the hitch.

Mike, in addition to what Mr. Kuhns wrote, the wheatland would also have a non-adjustable rear axle, and no PTO. Some would say that a true wheatland will have no hydraulics either. It depends on who you talk to. An engine conversion, that I'm familiar with, is the conversion to a General Motors Diesel (Detroit). There were several companies that made these conversions. I hope this helps you, Ken

Hi mike,
Did you get my info for the 529?
THe main difference is the front axle on a Wheatland was a solid Cast Iron non-adjustable wide front axle. It was shaped like an upside down V in the center.in the Some tractors had wide fenders that extended over the fender depending upon the model. Rowcrop tractors had adjustable axles on the wide front or a narrow front. some of the STD tractors had a solid cast front axle but were straight.I'm not sure of the weight difference for pulling. Other than the front axles there were no major diffences that I know of between the models. Maybe somebody else would know other differences.

wheatland tractors have larger tires.
and are bulky in tight areas.
With the larger tires they can put more chloridie
in tires for more weight. For more pull.
Tire size on a 1850 wheatland are 23.1-30 on the rear and 11.00-16 on front. The added weight is quite much, for a 92hp. For heavy feild work they are very good for the job even in the hay feild we use ours.
