Paul, I would NOT Trade for the Ford under any circumstances. #1 as another has said the 3020 is a quite stable platform By length and width! **What you failed to tell us is HOW Your Tractor is set up what width are the tire setting ie... 40in row width, 36in. what??? (center of PTO to center of tire tread) ** how much ballast are you caring, None-cast wheel only, 1 or 2 or more cast wts, Liquid in tire only, or liquid + cast wt. IMO....Set your wheels out wider than 40 in row width add either cast or fluid to the tire for wt and you can achieve the desired result with very little cost. If you set the cast wheels out to the outer most edge of the axle that alone will give you a very wide and stable tractor to work your hillside with and be of little cost to you at a time when trading tractors may not be a great idea. Widen out the rears and front end together... and that will lower your tractors center of gravity. Hope this helps. Later, John A. PS, My cousin has a 4230 open station with a loader it has No Fluid, but 330lbs (3piece aftermarket wts) of cast on the inside and 450lbs (3 factory JD wts) of cast outside on each rear cast wheel. IMO for good loader work it needs 4 more wts, 2 on each rear corner, Wt will help stabilize your tractor coupled up with widen out the wheels Again hope this helps! John A.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
