Hugh, I guess I can hold the bets if thats the only way I can gain admission to the "Big Event". From Experience, I can tell you that it really doesn't make any difference what you are operating at the time, wide front, or narrow. Unless you have the utmost respect for the tractor and its potential to hurt you if you disregard safety issues, bad things can happen. I rolled an 8-N Ford on dead level ground, simply because at the age of 12 there were only two speeds, wide open and off. If anyone rolls a narrow front or a wide front tractor, the general safety limits of the tractor were grossly exceeded by the operator. One should never operate one any different than the other. I hope George doesnt push his wide front to that limit just to proove his point. Reminds me of the story of the rich old man interviewing prospects to be his chauffer. He asked each how close they could come to the edge of the cliff and maintain control. One answered 12 inches, one answered 6 inches, one answered 4 inches as long as it was paved. The last one said he didn't know because he stayed as far away from the edge as he could get. You're hired, said the old man.
