I'm glad we have so many tractor operators here capable of tipping over WFE tractors, and scared to run NFE tractors. Ground I grew up on was hilly, and even with loaders on NFE tractors I never once came close to tipping a tractor. I've seen several 1456's at IH Mile of RED POWER plow days. When I worked for the BTO I much rather liked to plow with the NFE 4020 than the 4320 with ROPS cab with inoperative AC and WFE. We pulled the exact same F-145 5-14 plow in the same gear, 5th, with both tractors. Yep the end of mounted corn pickers, frt mounted cultivators, all reasons why nobody bought NFE tractors anymore. When I ordered tire, wheels, & rims at FARMALL We used 7.5Lx15 frt tires on every NFE tractor, so I knew exactly how many and when we built NFE tractors,we would only build 786, 886, 986, H186's. NO 1086, 1486, or 1586's. BUT the same parts we put on a 786 would fit the 3 bigger tractors, and people have built them. The 4010 Dad bought had WFE, it would not turn tight at all, with the frt mounted #400 cultivator I took 4 38 inch rows, and could not turn near sharp enough to take the next 4 rows, had to skip r and take rows 5 thru 8. A 6-30 cultivator probably wouldn't have taken the next 6 rows either. Other than that it was O-K to cultivate with. I learned by accident to get on/off the right side, first the PTO lever when disengaged reached out and grabbed me several times, and the lift bar from 3-pt rockshaft to left front half of cultivator was a tripping hazard 4 inches off the platform, just easier on/off the right. The Deere's not turning tight wasn't just a WFE thing, We used a 3020 gas NFE for the 4-H tractor driving contests, the guy that organized them was an avid IH guy, and he borrowed the same 3020 because it wouldn't turn sharp, absolutely would not pivot turn, He would slide the frt end when he demonstrated that it was possible to complete the manuver, pulling the 2 wheel cart or 4-wheel wagon out and backing in the other side of the course.
