George: If you make note I did indicate a figure of 95%, I do conceed wide front was a bit of an advantage and I also understand the pivot point of which you speak. One only has to put a clutch in these tractors to realize how hard that narrow front is to handle. I also think you will agree that narrow front tractors must be properly equiped. I think a narrow front without wheel weights and chloride would be much more vulnerable than the wide front without We also must remember those old narrow fronts were built in the days of 36 inch corn rows and in my opinion I wouldn't get on one without the weights and set on 72" centers. Yes, I would be pleased to come to Ohio next summer for your experiment. I also think you should look at the effects of rear wheel weight. I think those figures will surprise our friends as much as difference between nf and wf. I must admit I had some anxious moments after my post. I thought what if George takes me up on this. We are both over 60, I know my reflexes aren't what they used to be, the last time I was on the 300. Again, yes I would be pleased to join you and yes I think the results of making all tractors safer should be made public. There are a lot of narrow fronts around this old iron hobby, lets equip them as safely as possible.
