[ View Follow Ups Pe it has forces trying to make it tip, you have to be very careful. I have personally been involved in instances of tractors rolling or nearly rolling, andboth were with wide fronts. The first instance was when I was about 16.was helping a neighbing along a fairly gently sloped pond dam, the lower front wheel dropped into a hole we weren't aware ofhe tractor went overink about it, when a wide front has a problem affecting only one side, you have a very unstable beast. only remaining frontgged stool and it will fall over. A few years back at my dad's place, I was using a 2030 with a loader eed round bales. While carrying a bale, the left fron wheel broke amd let the left side fall hard to the ground. Fortunate had spent the previFarmall into a abandon well. All that was left to be seen was two big tires and the differential. So it goes to show, there are no easy answers. Liked your story.

    Sube you get any tractor in a position where it has forces trying to make it tip, you have to be very caref I have personally been involved in two instances of tractors rolling or nearly rolling, andboth were with wide fronts. Thest instance was whenweren't aware of. The tractor went over so quickly I could hardly comprehend what I had seen. He was tn clear, but the tra0 with a loader to feed round bales. While carrying a bale, the left fron wheel broke amd let the left fall hard to the grand it was only a foot off the ground. A heavy weight on a loader makes any tractor, especially a NF a tricky beast. : : John : John, I love the four legged stool, versus the three legged stool approach. But I saw my father,le he was bushhogging a pine thicket, drop the front end of a Farmall into a abandon well. All that was left to be seen was big tires and the differential. So it just goes to show, there are no easy answers. Liked your story. Charles H :
