That triangular line on a wide front goes form the bottom of the rear tire to the pivot point of the axle. The fact that this line rises and is not at the ground alone increases stability. Look at it this way since the triangular line is on the ground with a narrow front you dont have to lift the opposite side very far before it is falling "down" on a wide front since this line rises towards the front of the tractor you have to lift the opposite side further before you go past the point of no return. Also, once you encounter the limit of travel of the pivoting axle your line of stability is transfered to the wheel of the front axle. For what it's worth, my mental image of a real tractor has a narrow front, even though I wouldnt take it into the woods with me. Good Luck Kim
