I've got a row-crop M and SM on which I've used a loader for years. The narrow front is no problem as long as.....you keep some very simple rules in mind: 1) Keep the load low except when you MUST raise it high. When the load is high, don't turn! 2) Go slow, especially when turning. 3) Keep the load centered on the loader. 4) Do not make sudden, jerky moves with the steering or clutch. 5) Know the terrain - avoid holes, rocks, or hillsides that will upset the balance of the tractor. 6) NEVER let anyone ride in the bucket. You'll also find that power steering is a big assist. Keep the front tire pressure at 35psi or so, and enjoy the additional versatility of your tractor.
