: For greatest resistance to rollover due tatic forces, the cn loser the CG is to the polygon, the greater the angle of tip required to move the vertical line outside p>: For greatest res ngle.
: A narror front has a smaller polygon. If standing still, it will take less angle of tip in som rections to move the drops into a hole, the polygon is the same but the angle of tip is effectively increased.
: Dynamical on flat ground, the le required to tip it over due to angular velocity will always be roughly constant.
: Dynamically, on ground, the narrow s be less for the same height of CG above ground.
: In practice, this means:
: If two tractors of th me weight, same heig tip and a greater roll couple to turn the wide-front over in any case.
: The higher the CG above the g d, the easier it is to tip both, but it is even easier to tip the narrow front in some axes. As the CG moves forward from th ar axle, the narrow situations, where a bone-headed move, like a sudden change of speed or direction, will add enough roll c e to turn it over wh tle more bone-headedness. Because of the variable width of the contact polygon, the narrow-front is much e sensitive to the d e shot out my nose from laughing !
