That is true, but when you are sitting further away from the C/G, it feels like are at the top of a swaying tree, rather than at the base of the same swaying tree. ... or something like that. On the old fords, you somewhat straddled the C/G, whereas on the compacts you're totally sitting above the C/G. ... not that is makes much difference to the C/G, but you "feel" like you are over further.
Very true. I understood what you meant. Being in my 70's now and looking back on what those Fords and Fergusons had for design features and capabilities when I was a kid -- just amazing. It took a few years for 4WD to come of age but very impressive what the older machines had "figured out." Must have been some Ag Engineering genius at work in those days.
