A B or BN would give you the same tractor as an A with the narrow front, which should require no more than the usual prudence and care to operate on the kind of terrain you describe. There are also some of the smaller Cases and Allises that may suit your needs and have the narrow front that appeals to you. One of the Ford Ns might do the job, but they are all wide fronts.
