I looked up the wheel width combos on my 961 and 861. The rear can go all the way out to 78" wide, which is 6 feet 6 in. I have fluid in my rear tires on the 961. Front will go out to 80" with reversed front rims on hub. Use on hills is still a concern, but it can be mitigated to an extent. As with all things tractor, it is up to the operator.
I'm building my own ROPS for the 961 now as the stanchions for the loader reach about chest high right now. I'm going to weld off that, and go up another 4', and put in cross braces. I work my tractor at Timberon, NM at 7000' elevation in the rocks and mountains. There are places I will not go, but there are also places where the wide stance keeps it quite stable.
Building a ROPS on an old tractor is again - something the operator would decide on and deal with. Common sense in use should still prevail.
Edit: I looked at my rims on the 961, and I have the optional orchard rims. I can go all the way out to 94" width by reversing the arced inner, and extending the outer bolt flange all the way. Hard to tip that bi-atch over!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
