The additional stability you gain from having a wide front is mostly mentatl.[/quote]
Nope, there is a stability difference.
On an nf tractor, the tracor sits on a triangle formed by the three wheels. That triangle is on the ground. Everytime the tractor center of gravity vector goes outside of this triangle, the tractor tips over.
The center of gravity is normally at tractor belly height or slightly higher and in the middle plane if the tractor. Lateral forces due to rapid tirning or slopes will tend to move the gravity force direction out of the triangle.
That triangle also exist on a wf tractor but is not on the ground. The rear edge of the triangle is formed by the two rear wheels soil points and is at the ground level and the front point is the pivot pin, and is at pin level.
That is why a tractor with a raised pivot pin, would feel more stable than a tracor with a lower pivot pin.
