Congrats on the new tractor!!!!
Looks like you do similar work as I. My tractor spends 3/4 of it's time in the timber. Widen your track settings and you'll like it even more. Much more stable. Put the outside of the front tires at the width of the FEL bucket so you can always dig into a bank or trench with the front. I like my rears to be centered on the fronts, i.e., center of front tire and rear tire tracking together. that puts the outside of the rears outside your front tires by a few inches depending on tire size. You'll gain a LOT of stability that way. Enjoy and post more pictures when ya can.
