Mickey: Your thoughts on what gives tractors stability are full of bullfeathers. Low center of graviety is truly what keeps a tractor upright on uneven terain. That is the secret with any tractor especially row crops, narrow or wide front end, is lower that center of graviety. You may ask how? Simple, wheel tread setting and ballast. Set the rear wheels of a row crop tractor at a minamum 72" tread center to center, load them to the limit with Calcium Chloride and add rear wheel weights. The narrow front tractor will operate anywhere the wide front will. Those three items will lower the center of graviety. It has already been proven. You can set the row crop tractor wider than 72" and that will make them even more stable than a Utility at 66" tread centers

Believe me the only thing we may need a chain for is to tie you on the seat. I have a lot of hours in the seats of both Farmalls H and 300 and both with narrow fronts, and worked lots of hill sides with them as well. Yes we even took them in the bush and hauled logs on ice roads, not level roads either. I've also farmed with Farmalls 656, 560, 1066 and an articulated Deere. I do know what I'm talking about.
