Pulling a wagon it doesnt matter.The common thought of a wide being safer than a narrow is a 'wives tale'. An optical illusion. About the only time it really matters is if you have a front loader. Even then,not much.The safest thing is the operator,not the front axle. A tractor is a 3 point suspension. Meaning there are three points of contact. One each at the rear wheels, One point up front. The pivot on the wide front or the narrow front.Only difference is the pivot is approx 2 feet higher than a narrow.If the terrain,hills,towed behind load is too steep for a narrow,it is too steep for the wide.Dont think that because of the more stable
wide front you can traverse steeper slpoes.. You cant.It will rollover just as easy. And the temptation will be to drive faster just because of the wide is safer. Again,not so.I would be more concerned with the brakeing ability of a 6000 pound tractor with marginal brakes stopping a 10,000 pound load.The (large) tail wagging the dog.On hills,that is an accident(tragedy) waiting to happen.Save your money for another tractor in a couple of years. Make your next tractor purchace a bigger(806,856,966 and up) one with a wide front. But keep your old 560 for lighter jobs. A second tractor is always needed from time to time.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
