Quote: CVPost-redforlife (quoted from post at 20:13:13 01/25/22) No difference if both front ends are fixed. But, I will say this. A wide front end that swivels (one front wheel goes up when the other goes down), shouldn't be compared to a narrow front that is fixed and doesn't do that. Because, it's just not the same. Not sure if your familiar with a roll-amatic front end. They allowed for some movement to keep the weight equally on both wheels. Without it, the front end is just fixed other than turning. Well, a wide front that swivels gives you the same affect as a roll-amatic narrow front.

Being fixed or not would be the only difference. And not fixed would be better. Otherwise the possibility is there for entire weight being only on one wheel.




For rollover, major difference is height of tipping point.

Rollomatic pivots at ground level, so tractor stands on a triangle formed by rear wheels and narrow front and at ground level. Anytime the weight direction moves outside the triangle, tractor tips over. Shift of weight direction can be due to a slope, ateral acceleration and braking. Front loader make it very easy to do, because weight is shifted to the front and higher, so a small angle can make the weight go out of the safety triangle.



On a wide front, tractor stands on a triangle formed by the rear wheel and the front axle pivot. Only the rear edge of the triangle is on the ground.

The higher the pivot, the better.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
