New Super A Man: People must realize you have to be careful with all tractors on side hills. As far as suggesting the tractor is off balance by its offset design, that is just not so. The people who set the left wheel as wide as it will go and set the right wheel as narrow as it will go, truly have the tractor off balance. I have operated these little tractors most of my life and at 60 can say I have never even had a close call. I have also had them in some pretty mean spots. I have had my thrills, but you know they came on mid sized wide front tractors.

The Super A is set at 52, 56 or 60 inch wheel tread probably about as well balanced tractor as there is on market. If you load a flat bottom stone boat and hitch a Super A on front, it will pull 3 times it's own weight. Very few tractors ever built will do that. If you change those wheels as I indicated in first paragraph the super A will not pull 3 times its own weight.

If you happen to have one of those tractors that someone has removed the cast rear wheel from the right hand side. Either removed it completely or placed that wheel on the left yes tractor could be dangerous. The tractor was engineered to have that heavy cast wheel on the right.
