Bill: The narrow fronts are just plain more manuverable. Why it has disappeared on newer tractors, there are a number of reasons. Cropping techniques probably number one. In my opinion the stability issue everyone wants to raise is a piece of crap. Common sence will tell you 95% of tractors stability comes from rear wheels. Tractors today must BE SEEN to be idiot proof. With all the legal actions today, a manufacturer wouldn't dare build a functional tractor anymore, nor would an employer allow an employee drive one. Most jurisdictions today require roll over protection on all tractors. Can you imagion putting roll over protection on a Super A, why there would be more steel in the protection than tractor. Believe me all these so called safety protection devices have just allowed operators to become more reckless, and added countless thousands to price of tractor. Same thing with our automobiles. Seems to me we would be much better off financially building much simpler vehicles and putting the boots to the careless and reckless. Let them stay home on welfare, they wouldn't be anymore burdon to society.
