I'm not a big fan of a JD B, but I don't think you or your wife needs to be too concerned about that narrow front. I've spent over 50 years on narrow-front Farmalls, and have never even come close to tipping one. If you know the area where you are working well, you can usually avoid holes, stumps, rocks, creek banks, etc, that can make a tractor roll more easily. Keep the speed at a reasonable level, and you should be safe. If you are using a loader, go slowly and keep it as low as possible when turning. This debate about wide-fronts vs. narrow-fronts comes up occasionally, and you'll find strong opinions on both sides of the issue. It's pretty certain, however, that a wide-front DOES instill a false sense of security in some folks! As Hugh MacKay said in a post below, fluid in the tires makes a tractor much less prone to rolling over. Don't let inexperienced folks operate your tractor, always hitch to the drawbar, and enjoy it!
