We are not in agreement...the sense of security with a WFE is real and justified. This follows the laws of physics, not popularity. A lot of people don't understand the difference in stability between NFE and WFE. This is nothing to be ashamed of, but careful thought will show that the difference in height of the pivot points makes considerable difference. Most of my tractor time is on industrials, and the greater stability is obvious. Apart from the lower stance, the higher pivot point on the axle instead of on the ground makes a huge difference. A narrow front M would be fairly easy to roll. A wide front M would be much safer on hills. George Willer
