You'll hear "Wheatland" or "Standard" tractor terms used interchangeably. A wheat land or standard tractor usually has a lower profile with smaller tires and a wide front often the tire track isn't adjustable. Back about 100 years ago when they started making tractors they were all pretty much standard. International Harvester got this bright idea to make a narrow front tractor with higher ground clearance to allow farmers to cultivate row crops. International then started calling the row crop tractor McCormick Farmalls, the standard tractor were Deerings, then later Internationals. Often the manufacturers made their biggest tractor a standard only version Like the International 40 and 9 series tractors, The John Deere D, R, 80, 820 and 830 and the Case L and LA. When you grow wheat and other small grains you can't cultivate it so you don't have the need for the maneuverability and high clearance found in row crop tractors. Also wheat farms were bigger or tended to be single crop farms earlier so they made bigger tractors to cover more ground. Wheat land farmers basically used tractors for tillage, planting and harvest.
