If the tires are all of equal size (such as with a 4WD tractor) the smoothest place for the cab would be right in the middle since the operator would only experience half of the up-and-down motion of each axle. The issue with 2WD tractors is that the small front tires are more affected by bumps and dips than the large rear tires. So, on these tractors the seat needs to be closer to the large tires. Front-wheel assist tractors will ride better than the same model with 2WD for this same reason - the larger front tires roll over dips that the smaller tires would drop into. Modern tractors have their cabs farther forward than older tractors due to the desire for more room around the operator. A cab setting right over the rear axle must very narrow at the seat level since there's only about 40 inches available if a 60 tire track width is to be accommodated. But, since the vast majority of cab tractors these days are equipped with front assist it allows the cab to be moved forward and widened without a ride penalty.
