On the roll over front - please bear in mind this is just my personal opinion. A tractor, no matter what configuration is only as safe as the person sat on the seat. From what I can tell a NFE will roll over more easily than a WFE, but I can't tell you how much more easily. My thinking is that if you get one with a NFE and are consquently more careful using it, it may be "safer" than the WFE if you drove it like you're invincible. Also where you have your rear tires set is a major factor in how stable the tractor is. You say you want to use a Loader, for this you are probably going to be better of with a WFE, but whichever you get it will make it significantly more difficult to steer and you probably want to look for a tractor with live hydraulics otherwise you loader'll stop everytime you push the clutch in. You also mention using a finish mower, you'll probably find a smaller tractor would be much better for this application due to the weight and size amongst other things. Hope this helps, SAm in NS
