Pulling a wagon it doesnt matter.The common thought of a wide being safer than a narrow is a 'wives tale'. An optical illusion. About the only time it really matters is if you have a front loader. Even then,not much.The safest thing is the operator,not the front axle. A tractor is a 3 point suspension. Meaning there are three points of contact. One each at the rear wheels, One point up front. The pivot on the wide front or the narrow front.Only difference is the pivot is approx 2 feet higher than a narrow.If the terrain,hills,towed behind load is too steep for a narrow,it is too steep for the wide.Dont think that because of the more stable
wide front you can traverse steeper slpoes.. You cant.It will rollover just as easy. And the temptation will be to drive faster just because of the wide is safer. Again,not so.I would be more concerned with the brakeing ability of a 6000 pound tractor with marginal brakes stopping a 10,000 pound load.The (large) tail wagging the dog.On hills,that is an accident(tragedy) waiting to happen.Save your money for another tractor in a couple of years. Make your next tractor purchace a bigger(806,856,966 and up) one with a wide front. But keep your old 560 for lighter jobs. A second tractor is always needed from time to time.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
