I agree, the old Ford tractors are more stable; however, I just thought I'd ask if you were aware that the rear wheels on the JD790, and many other small utility tractors are equipped with a series of mounting lugs, spaced at different depths, which allow for multiple tread widths. You can flip and switch the wheels from side to side in order to achieve the widest width, and greatest stability. On some tractors, the front wheels also can be flipped and switched in order to achieve more tread width.

Usually, when these tractors are shipped from the factory, the wheels are installed at the narrowest position.

Your land bridge is looking good. Good luck, and stay safe.
