Not to mention most any tractor would be better for farming use.  Having plowed gardens with my Scout, I know it takes a half acre to get turned around, visibility of the implement is limited, and row crop work would be out of the question.  It takes more than traction.  There was a reason why the Farmall Regular changed the face of farming.

Probably cost and the need for a larger tire footprint.  The 28in and larger wheels can roll over plow furrows a lot easier than 16in.
