I like trikes. I have one the same letter and approximate size, but different color ("original" orange). Like SG says, with a mower, they are the "original" zero-turn. That maneuverability also makes them unmatched as multi-row cultivating tractors. Also, better forward visibility, combined with a lot better maneuverability and even weight distribution makes them better for use in the woods dragging logs. A trike with unloaded rears will sometimes damage the ground less than horses/mules/oxen while dragging logs. Them wide-fronts rut things up like crazy in comparison. You will definitely need power steering on your wide-front to get the same ease of steering. If it is safety you are concerned about, I would consider fabricating a roll-bar and adding a seat belt. That would make you safer than a non-rops wide-front at less cost than the conversion. The trikes are a dying breed, no longer manufactured due to the great number of lawyers now populating our country. They are less stable than wide-fronts, but there still are some places where they are vastly superior.
