As a point of argument, before the wide front hits the stop when tipping, the tipping line is a triangle just like others have said. Once it hits the stop, the resistance point moves out to the width of the front tire. The fact that the unit has started tipping before the stop has been reached has to be considered in calculating tipping. As many have pointed out, that tendency to roll on the front axel axis tends to instability, but it is necessary for operation on uneven ground. A crawler has no front axel rotation and can be rather rough to operate on uneven ground and a corner is often suspended in mid air. A tractor with no front axel rotation would be the same.
The weight of the tire, hub, axel, and wheel weight is significantly more for the C than the B. The final drives for the B are fixed at about 30 inches from the center of the unit. A smaller tire weighs less, the wheel weights are about the same but the hubs for the B are not as heavy as for the C. This additional weight at the end of the axel more than compensates for the heaver chassis of the C. Much of this additional chassis weight was placed low to reduce tipping.
