I'm new to the forum and this is my first owned tractor, so please forgive me for being a sprout. I bought a wide-front 1954 Farmall 400 this spring. Most of our land is sidehill, and I wanted something for pulling locust trees 8 inch diameter and smaller that are taking over. Eventually I hope to clear enough land to do something with it. Here are my questions: Do I pick up more stability by re-reversing the wheels? They're concave side pointing inward now. How much wider will the wheelbase be after the switch? Seems like wider would be better with all the sloped land. Will I be putting extra stress on the axles by doing this? I ask that because the tires are filled, and they also have weights. All I'll be doing for the coming few years is pulling trees (downhill). I've been enjoying the forum, and I tried to research these questions before asking. I won't be attempting this work myself, but before having it done I want to get the forum's advice. Thanks in advance.
