John Deere sold them as "Standard" (Wheatland) and General Purpose (Row Crop)". "Wheatland", as others state, is a nickname for where many of these were used. "Row Crop" is a nickname for the General Purpose.
The Standard is typically lower slung. It is always a wide front, could be fixed or adjustable. All but the JD 830 could have 3 point hitches, it was just not common. You will never see a single wheel or narrow front end on a Standard.
The General Purpose had many more options. It was used for various task. For instance there are five different front ends that could be on a Row Crop. Single, Double narrow, Roll-O-Matic (floating double narrow) a fixed 38 inch wide front and an adjustable wide front that would adjust from 48" to 80". Not all of these had 3 point hitch either. There is a list of various hydraulics that could be ordred with it.
Mechanically, the two are very similar with many parts interchangable.
I personally like the GP (Row Crop) because it can be dressed out with various options that stand out.
