[AT] Orchard tractors

[charlie hill]

John if you've ever seen the AC Crop Hustler tractors in the hundred series, 
it's the same tractors with a longer axle, a different or maybe optional
rear tire size package and a Tobacco Special sticker.   I'm not sure exactly 
all the models it was available on but the 180, 185, 190 and 190XT
I'm relatively sure.  I don't think it went down to the 175 and below.

Never knew anyone but IH made tobacco specials. I think most of them were
574, 584, maybe 674 as well. I am pretty certain they could be shipped on
the highway with no problem, the wide spacing came with moving the hubs and
rims around. One thing about it, you can't hardly give one of them away to
anyone that isn't raising tobacco.

I've also seen quite a few orchard tractors (all at shows), but I would dare
say they were all brought in to our area, most likely from Florida.
