I would have to agree that narrow front tractors don't get driven into as tippy situations that a wide front gets driven into. I should get a couple of the kids toy tractors and tip them sideways and angle ways on a board. To see if the wide or narrow front is more stable.My bet says the wide front will stay upright a couple of degrees farther than a narrow. It takes only bumpy ground at modest speeds on a moderate side hill to roll any tractor. A narrow front tractor may have had the rear wheels set narrow for rowcrop use. The wide front tractor may have a wider stance and be more stable. Because the wheels are set right out flush to the ends of the axle from the factory. Not too many people go through the work of regularly changing rear tread widths. Around here the collectable narrow fronts are all set with the rear wheels out flush to the axle ends. At some shows I've seen narrow front row crops with the rear wheels set as narrow as possible. The sides of the tires are "almost rubbing the operator's foot rests". They look like a couple of kids could tip them over with a good push.
