After starting a spirited discussion earlier this year on the physics of moving the rear tires outward causes and effects, I thought I'd bring something else to the table I've ran across.
Original thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/360777-physics-question-leverage.html
This is an in depth article and calculator on determining where the Center of gravity is on a vehicle.

What is interesting to me that I didn't know was how they found the vertical height of the COG(center of gravity).
This can be done with a tractor I believe and changes to the physical configuration of the setup figured. Like with a ballast box, filled tires Brush hog or FEL connected with full bucket or not, etc.
Anyway there's the link and I'm looking forward to everyone weighing in. I gotta admit I'll probably be trying it one day to see on my Kubota for "just wondering".
(It would be interesting to where old Cubs and other offset tractors COG is located.)
Yes. it is a slow day at work and I'm caught up....
