Re: Tire question w/ a new \"slant\"
Unfortunately the 2910 does not have adjustable wheel width.
I agree with the suggestions to fill the tires, but will also add that different tires will likely help too.
I had a B2400 with turf/bar tires (loaded) and it was pretty tippy on rough, slopped mowing with a 3PH mower. I had the rear wheels set to max width (they're adjustable on that machine). The rear tires are also very rounded, I'd say even more so than the turf tires, and it definitely seemed to be a factor.
I now have a B2910 with R4 tires, also filled, and the difference in stability is quite remarkable. The heavier weight is clearly a big part of it, judging from improved traction, but I think the squared off profile of the R4s helps a lot too.
You might consult your dealer on this. I think mine would be willing to trade wheels and tires at 50hrs if I concluded that I had picked the wrong ones. Maybe your's will consider this, or at least consider a very reasonable trade $ value. Unfortunately you will need to change wheels and tires. You are also correct that the B2910 stands higher with turf tires than R4s, and that means a higher center of gravity, which is working against your goals
Good luck
