The problem is that wide front ends pivot around a pin in the axle, while narrow front end tractors have no such pivot. (The NFE pivots where the tires touch the ground.) Your "training wheels" would have no provision for pivoting, which would make the tractor unstable over rough terrain. You could allow the training wheels to float, but that would negate the whole purpose. Actually, the rollover danger of NFE tractors is highly exaggerated. They will roll over, but so will a WFE. The best way to prevent rollover with a NFE is to put ballast in the tires and avoid dangerous situations like slippery sidehills.
