Lynn: There is no such thing as a dangerous tractor, just dangerous people running them. All tractors can be made more safe by the use of ballast thus lowering the center of graviety. Of course the very best way to lower the center of graviety was the use of calcium chloride solutions in rear tires. Wider wheel treads will have the same effect. I would try jobs with a narrow front, rear tires on 72" centers and chloride, that I wouldn't try with a wide front on 66" rear tire centers and no chloride. Same tractor model. I have also loaded thousands of loads with Farmalls H and 300 narrow fronts. Before the days of power steering, the narrow front was by far the best loader tractor.
