The tractor is fine the way it is. If you have experience driving tractors, the issue is clearly only doing things that you are comfortable with. There is a small tipping advantage to a wide front, but maybe 10% when doing somthing that is way beyond comfort. I have been around both, and stay well within my comfort zone. The weight issue with the load you intend is dependent on the terrain you intend to navigate, soil conditions, the tire footprint, and the trailer tongue load. If the trailer is balanced so the tongue has 4 to 6 hundred pounds on the drawbar, and is a low profile (not deckover), and the tires have reasonable flotation (low weight per square inch of tire contact) there should be no real issue. I would make sure the rear tires were filled with ballast (Rimguard is my preference, or RV water system antifreeze). I would also recommend dual rear tires set wide if barn space allows. Wide set rear tires make a dramatic difference in the comfort zone. Wheel weights and front weights can also be applied in this case. You will like the tractor. Jim
