The only place it will bother you is if you would
get a haybine - I don't suppose you will go to
that expense for 5 acres? The front wheels will
run the swath down into the ground, where a
wide front would straddle it.

Narrow fronts are slightly more tippy, but are
more manuverable. If you make a habbit of
trying to go through mushy gummy wet dirt, the
narrow front will sink in more, & will pack up
with dirt. Generally you should not be driving
there by the time you get to that point.

On a loader, then a wide front is safer &
distributes the heavy load over a wider area.
Narrow works fine tho, if you are safe.

Another way of looking at it: I like the wide front
on my 960 for most things - glad dad kept that
one. However, I liked the narrow front 960 we
had also, it turned shorter, and made little
difference which we used for what. For blading
snow & muck in the cow yard, the wide front is
better. For running the moco, the wide front is
better. Needed the narrow front for the
front-mount cultivator. Everything else was a
wash.
