Hugh, You hit that one right on the head with the stability issue, it is pure crap that a wide front is more stable in most situations. The only time it is, during angleing down steep hills(which is foolish on anything). A careful operator is just as safe on a narrow, the center of gravity on a farmall is a lot lower than it looks as there is a lot more weight down low. I run three narrows and two wides. When bushhogging in and around trees the narrow is much more manuverable with a rear mounted cutter. Most people say narrows are more unstable due to heresay, but without common sense applied, - - they are! Van
