Carlton: Farmalls are quite high. I ran a 300, 560 and 656 for years on 72" centers. I even went to 84" on 1066 while single wheels. I always found these settings as a minamum gave these tractors great stability even on the hills.

After I dualed my tractors stability was unbelieveable. My 1066 was over 10' wide, 560 and 656 just under 10'. I've seen the 1066 slide down hill sideways, and I never had any concerns of upset. Every inch wider you can tolerate increases the stability substancially. I realize increased width makes the not quite as manuverable in tight corners, it's a trade off
