There are various attributes on a “High Clearance” Tractor primarily related to extra- long axles/axle housings and offset wheel centers to offer even more width adjustability.  And often a single front wheel and even narrow 42” rear tires.  The added adjustable wheel width is quite significant but the actual axle height doesn’t significantly increase, maybe 2” at most. So my question is when you as a farmer go looking for a “High Clearance” tractor is your primary focus on the increase in adjustable rear wheel width and if so how important in addition to that is the increase in axle height?
