Pondering the center of gravity (CG) of my tractor

Good Morning,

The Nebraska Tractor Tests list the COG for some tractors. I got a general idea of where my 6800's is.

Ah yes, this is what I was referring to.

How much more stable do the spacers make it feel?

Don't know about his but mine well worth the time....ｼ" steel plate, lug diagram off to machine shop to cut plate....4" wide piece of 8" steel pipe x 2....4" because that would still have my rear tires within a 60" spacing on my 2400 Branson. A little non professional, self taught welding and painting and 12 bolts, locks, nuts.

On the center, as others have said, it's that rock or crevice hiding under the grass that you don't see that totally upsets the apple cart! My doings is if it feels bad quit it and always take it slow since the reaction is proportional to the speed of the tractor and height of the variance....don't remember to what power...direct/linear, exponential...or asymptotic.
