A Country Company Insurance agent, brought a toy tractor (560 IHC with a electric motor) and a loader. Plus a plywood hill with numbers as it got steeper. It was like a side hill. He would run the Tractor and loader with the bucket low, and record where it turned over. then raise the loader to the top and record where it turned over. Didn't get very far with the loader to the top. Then filled the bucket with 3/4 nuts. with the bucket low it would actually go farther than when it was empty. Then one of the guys in our club said, But that tractor has a narrow front. The agent said, I was waiting for someone to notice. He plucked the narrow front off and put a wide front on the 560. Then did all the combinations over again. There was no difference in how far the little tractor would go before it turned over. except the wide front might have turned over a tad quicker a couple of times. All you have done with a wide front is raised the pivot point. which is good. but actually the narrow front is a foot wide and will stand alone. The real difference is if you run off into a hole big enough for both tires. bad deal on a narrow front. Of course a new 6430 JD with suspension on the front will keep the tractor from turning over.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
