Boy, you ask a lot of questions, first off, the facts do point out that a wide front is safer, but only in extreme conditions. Many of us here grew up driving narrow front tractors and have never had so much as a close call with one. It all has to do with operator skill and common sense. The narrow front tractor will be just fine. Now for the tire question, Figure on paying somewhere around $500 for a set of rear tires, if you shop around and don't get in a hurry, you can beat that price by quite a bit. If you really like the Farmall M then that is what you should get, but never underestimate the Farmall H, it also is a viable option. Equipment and attachments for the Farmalls is as easily found as for the little Ford, and the Farmall H or M will do a lot more work.
