We do cautiously use a rowcrop rollo-matic front JD 50,60 or 70 in a hilly bush/forest/woods to skid logs and tree tops out. Tramping the wheel brake allows turns and standard or wide rowcrop front can't make to sneak between trees. Using 1st or 2nd gear, some caution, the rear wheels set out to the axle ends or past and we haven't come to grief yet. If it wasn't for the slow speed however we would have turned a couple of tractors greasy side up however. Most roll overs involve high speeds and some wing-ding driving around with the loader at max height for improved visibility. Seen a pile of tricycle tractors with the rear wheels at minimum narrow width, looks almost like a bicycle. No wonder they roll over. As for stability the 70 diesel standard on short 18.4x30 tires or the 2355, both with the front and rears set out wide, will go places where one has no business going.
