George: During my farming career, my farm probably logged 100,000 hours of tractor work, and yes a lot of it with narrow front tractors. During my farming there was never a lost time accident on that farm. I think I understand what is happening with the operation of a tractor. I skidded saw logs out of the bush with Farmall 300 narrow front , and would drive right up on top of the pile, unhook and swing logs 90 degrees. Those logs were were treee length for skidding and we cut them anywhere from 12' to 18' long on top of pile and yes those piles did get as high as 15'. My dad before me with H nf and later I with 300 nf and still later 560 wf logged many hours in the bush skidding logs and I can tell you the worst accident we ever had was someone ran over a chain saw with a set of Canadian ring chains on 300. We built logging winches for the Farmall before the days of skidders. My dad, my brother and I were the only ones ever to operate those tractors in the bush. In 1975 I did indeed buy a Forestry skidder as I could not run the risk of tractors nf or wf in bush, with hired operators. You are not that far away, so if you want to find a couple of 300's one nf and one wf, both set on 72" wheel tread, one set of wheel weights and factory recomended calcium chloride in tires. You lead the way with WIDE FRONT, I will follow with NARROW FRONT, and I garrentee you I will come into the finish line with my front tires within 30' of your drawbar. I will pick up Paul in MI and he can come along to hold all bets if you wish to put your money where your mouth is. You choose the course entirely and we will walk it ahead of time, as I should be as familiar with terrain as you are. I am not going to do this in cold weather either, if I'm going to drive to Ohio it will be also to enjoy the country side in full growth of summer.
