In the old days, people learned from their mistakes, it was called "survival of the fittist".
People quickly learned not to take corners to fast, farm on steep hillsides, or carry the loader in a raised position.
But to answer a question that has been answered many, many times before:
Mounted cornpickers required a tri-cycle front end, also older wide fronts did not turn nearly as short as a narrow front, advantageous when using 2 row equipment to let you turn around at the end of the row..
Tractors with a narrow front, might just be a modern way to eliminate those with no common sense, like Uncle Snot who is determined to carry a 1200 lb bale raised 12 feet in the air, while crossing a 75 degree slope.
