Lyn--
I have lived all 60 years of my life in and on the hills of the NY/PA border. I grew up on a Farmall M and a Massey Harris 44, both narrow fronts and never had a problem. When I got my own piece of hilly ground, I bought a JD B and used it for many years with no problems. All of the farmers in this area used NF tractors back in the 40's, 50's and 60's with no problems. It all comes down to the need for common sense and smarts on the part of the operator. Any situation not safe for a NF tractor will not be safe for a WF tractor either.
I'm not a farmer buy use my tractors for bush hogging, plow days, parades shows, and pulling. By choice (influenced by my "formative years," I guess), I have a Farmall Super C, Farmall Super H, JD A and JD 70 with a JD B waiting for some restoration work. All of these tractors are NF's and they are just so handy and maneuverable. I also have a Ford 2N that is a handy, useful tractor but really no safer than the others, in fact maybe less so especially when coming down hill becasue of its lighter weight.
Not my place to tell you what to do but I sure wouldn't be afraid of the JD B; they are one of the all-time greatest tractors, easy to use, fun to use, cheap to fix and as safe as any other tractor if the driver uses his/her head!
Have a Merry Christmas.

It all began Monday with a little baling of second crop on the lake shore field, and as I drove out past my sister and her hubby's place, this small calling sound could be heard from the general direction of their manure pile. Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
