Silly question

If you think the RX is unstable on a slight slope especially with a load in the bucket or on forks - try the same load on a smaller tractor on the same slope and then let me know if you really think smaller would be better in this situation
Typically, with any given load out front, smaller tractors are less stable. Sure, you can create exceptions by playing with counter weights and wheel spacing / tire size, but anything you can do to the small tractor to make it more stable you can also do to the large tractor. So apples to apples the large tractor will be more stable for a given load out front.
True, I think it is my nerves as an inexperienced operator that are the problem. I'm sure the smaller tractor would be less stable with the same load (if it could carry the same load ) and even with an equivalently proportioned load might be less stable. With the large tractor, and me sitting up quite high off the ground, I think my nerves kick in a bit more than they would if I didn't have as far to roll! And on top of that I think my nerves are kicking in sooner than they need to after reading all the stories on TBN, as an inexperienced operator I'm probably playing it safe.
