Any loader on any tractor is always dangerous. A narrow front end is slightly more so.

You should always keep the load low, wide or narrow.

I'm using a Farmall H narrow front with a manure bucket. On hills. In southern Minnesota. What helps is lots of weight in back down low. We've got 200lbs of concrete on each wheel, and a platform on the drawbar with another 400lbs on it - this is very low, knee level.

Low, slow, & weight on the back, and it should work out for you.

That wouldn't happen to be the tractor I see in the NU Jornal classifieds?

By the way, I have a 300 row crop too, with factory wide front - maybe you can find a wide front from a salvage yard - BUT they are not real strong & have a horrid turning radius.
