Over rough terrain I'll take the wide front.....and I've never seen a "smooth" farm yet! If you drop a NF into a 1 foot deep hole. the front of the tractor drops 1 foot. If you drop one wheel of a WF in a 1 foot deep hole, the front end drops 6 inches or half as far. That little bit can cause a tip-over on a hillside or loss of control. Also with a WF it is easier to watch for holes and obstacles that the front wheels might hit. We had a B JD and 2 WF WD45 ACs when I was a kid. The B was the only tractor that had been tipped over. The B was downright scary to drive compared to the WD45. The B was good for cultivating and mowing, tho.
