Having been doing tractor drives for eighteen years, I would not use a narrow front as on rough roads it will hit a lot more bumps. Here's my list a tractor should have for safety, comfort, and convenience. Diesel engine, not so much for economy, but mainly for down hill engine braking and reliability. Gas engines don't engine brake downhill well as diesels do. A six cylinder engine, as they run smoother. Mechanical Power assist steering, so tractor can be safely steered while it's being towed if needed. Hydrostatic steering does not always steer well when being towed. Wide front end, so less bumps are hit when on rough roads. Mechanical non power brakes, as some tractors with power brakes may not work safely with engine not running. Air ride seat, makes longer drives much more comfortable. Overhead sun protection, buggy top or roll bar canopy, as I'm not a sun worshipper either. Back up camera, liked it so well on the pickup so the last two drive tractors got it too. A good working GPS, a bike speedometer calibrated to one wheel, to keep track of speed and distance when the GPS loses it's signal in heavy wooded areas. And don't forget the snack tray and cup holders too!
