I totally agree about rear stance and all mine are set as far out as possible. My last purchase was a 4230 with cab and had the tires in as close as possible to the cab....actually one side rubbed off the new paint. Anyhew I figured they did it to get it on the trailer to move it from where they got it to where they fixed it, to where I bought it. As soon as I got home I moved them out to bout 8'. Learned how to move JD wheels. Just standing behind the thing you could see that it was unstable. On the difference of the two, just go back to the force vector....pendilum weight swinging out kinda thing, or just watch your outside tire on a wide front when you turn a corner. You can see the forces acting on the front end and see that the outside tire is taking the load....and on a tricycle, that tire isn't out there regardless of the fact that they both pivot in the center.....something just hit me. The length of the front brace (of the triangle) on a tricycle goes all the way to the ground. On a wide front, it only goes to the top of the front axle; half the distance. So that arm is half as long so the pendilum swing would only be half (almost) as far out for the same pressure. Wides are more stable inherently...just convinced myself of that. Mark

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
