I'm with John M on the 200 and I'd forget about the wide front and use a maneuverable narrow front. The 200 is just a later model Super C with different sheet metal and maybe a little more hp. You think in your mine a wide front is more stable from the stance on the ground but in reality I've seen some statists that more wide fronts are involved in roll-overs then the narrow front tractors probably because people think they won't roll over. Since you believe a narrow front is roll-over prone you will have the embedded instinct not to chance unsafe terrain and in reality be safer then taking a chance with a wide front which is thought to be safer. A narrow front will be less expensive and will provide the maneuverability needed when working with small food plots. The 200 will be all the tractor you would require for the other activities you envision using the tractor.
If you opt for the 200 you might want to convert it to 12 volts so you would be able to jump start it with your vehicle if the battery is low and won't start the tractor in the non-electric location at the cabin. Having an alternator in the charging circuit will probably provide better charging capability without much maintenance being in a seldom used environment that appears where you will be operating the tractor. A 200 is very easy to convert to 12 volt due to the existing generator location being totally exposed. Also, if you can find a few pieces of fast hitch equipment that you will need for your food plots you will find they are very easy to mount in lieu of mounted or semi-mounted implements. They are easy to find with a little effort. Most Farmall 200's were equipped with the 2 point fast hitch which will only require a single person to attach to the tractor. Hope all of this helps in your decision on a tractor since you appear to only really want to consider the red brand, Hal.
