I won't give narrow fronts a bad of a rap, but for loader work the wide front (also with power steering) is very nice.
That said, it wasn't just the mounting of the implements, but also the turn radius, [especially for two and four row planting] you didn't need very many endrows to accomodate a narrow front . The narrow front when used with cutting brakes (the original Farmalls even had them cabled to the steering) will "turn on a dime and leave a nickel's worth of change" in almost any soil conditions.
I have the same loader on a narrow and a wide. I can get the narrow into places the wide just won't go, but you can sure feel it and really need the cutting brakes if you have a load on.
When you consider a wide front pivots on the center, on paper a narrow front is actually slightly more stable; however in real use (when going across ruts etc.) the wide will feel more stable because it splits the difference.
Anyway, you'll need to judge your uses and your own inclination to the learning curve, but I'm not afraid of them! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
