Well, each person has their own preference. I like row-crop (narrow front end) tractors. From a stability standpoint, if I have lots of work to do on hilly conditions, the only way to really be safe is a track machine. Wide front or narrow front, either can roll, and as has already been stated, the operator determines the danger. 2 things cause tractor accidents:
Main cause, is not paying attention. 2nd cause, panic. Either produces deadly results.
My view is simple. If the operator does NOT feel comfortable under the operating conditions, they shouldn't do it. So, if you think that the "trike" config is going to make you nervous when operating, don't buy it. I skid logs out of the woods with my BN, with the front tires off the ground more times than not (steering with the brakes). you have to pay attention, feather the throttle, and be prepared to hit the clutch. I DO NOT condone anyone operating that way if you are not comfortable with it. Learned to steer with the brakes when the front wheels were light years ago. If that takes your breath away, don't try it at home......... IMHO
