Everyone already pretty much covered this topic but I throw my 2 cents in anyway.
All my NF tractors will pretty much turn in place without using the brakes. Add brakes and they easily will turn in place. Always turned my nose up at NF tractors as a kid, but I like them now for the enhanced maneuverability in small plots.
The NF do ride a tad bit rougher than a wide front (Unless you have a JD with roll-o-matic front end). My NF John Deere A with roll-o-matic rides nice. I wish my Farmall h or my Farmall M had that roll-o-matic front end in them. Sure is a shame that IH passed on roll-o-matic as it was offered to them first back in the day (just another one of their many mistakes in making sound business decisions as a company). I also have a case DC with NF. Have not really drove that tractor much yet, but that chicken roost steering does have some advanatages built into its design as well (except for looks- LOL).
Small NF tractors usually steer easy even without Power Steering. Bigger NF tractors start to get hard to steer without PS but are still easier than comparable size WF (Farmall M size and bigger then I want PS). Almost all WF tractors steer harder than NF without PS regardless of size.
Tippiness is more the nut behind the wheel....than NF or WF except if a loader is involved.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
