The only Orchard model of the 214 Plymouth tractors built, it’s literally one of a kind, but that’s not it’s real claim to fame. Instead, that comes from the fact that it was the first tractor to be designed for use with rubber tires instead of the studded steel wheels used before.

It was bought by the small tractor collection I just posted last month, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/05/stonegate-farm-orchard-tractor.html
The fully enclosed mudguards are unusual - maybe they were to stop the wheels from hitting the trees when the tractor was being used?
