Carlton: The big item on working any row crop tractor is set your rear wheels some where between 6' and 7' centers. The wide front would give very little additional safety. All it does is change the pivot point of tractor tipping from ground level with narrow front to top of axle with the wide front. When your Farmall M was built everyone was growing their corn in 36" plus rows, thus all of them were set at 72" plus. We had two narrow front tractors years ago. Used them in a farm woodlot, never had a problem. Safety will have more to do with you than a narrow front. I remember one of the first old guys to install roll over protection on a tractor in our area. I asked him one day how he liked the ROPS. He said it just allowed my boys to become more reckless. Therein my friend lies the key to your safety.
