They did not come from the factory that way. Some were switched because they thought the tractor would be more stable with the wide front. Nothing could be farther from the truth but still thought that way by many. The only way it could help on a side hill would be to install blocks so the front axle could not pivot. Once the rear wheels are to a danger point the front axle still thinks the tractor is level. Once the rear tire on the high side lifts off the ground the pivot point of the front axle has a long ways to go before it could help. That is a false security.

Dick, I agree with your analysis completely. But now, the false security is there and it will never go away. Usually the wide front steers easier and reacts less when hitting an obstruction like a rock. Hence I prefer them about half the time. The other half of the time, I dislike the wider turning radius and the difficulty in getting close to fences in the corners and the extra space it takes in the shed (for the wide front).

No disagreement here Denny. A wide front wins on plowed ground the first time over hands down. If you have watched my posts you know that I hate to miss a chance to make a point no mater how unpopular it might be. (:^D
