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.

In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
