Growing up on a farm in West Virginia I wonder if there's another factor for a dual wheel narrow front. Going by the seat of pants feel when going around a slope the upper rear wheel will keep more weight on it when the front wheels are straight ahead. Cutting the wheels sharp especially down hill when the weight is light on the upper rear is a no no. Real sidling ground I always try to keep the front end higher on the slope than the rear and don't turn the front end down hill at a angle when real steep. H and M tractors with weight on rears and wheels spread if needed will go around steeper ground than a person should. After having zero weight on the upper wheel at times when I was younger. Now I say why take the chance, If it feels dangerous most times it is. Back then we also had some older 2 wheel drive utility type tractors. One a ferguson 40 was used on steep ground, with the lower center of gravity, spin out wheels on rear set wide, it would go around a hill so steep it would slide down before turning over unless something caught the rear wheel. Also on uneven slopes the rear wheel could come off the ground and the front end stop it from going on over, getting close though. On the H they get light on the front going up hill sometimes.
