Currently have Kubota L4600HST, Kubota M7040, Kubota M8540, two Massey 265's, Massey 230, ...... Had Long 510, Mahindra 3510.Ford 4000, Deere 4230.
Got 40 hours now on my L4600HST and no problems so far.... Only thing I have done is I switched my rear tires positioning. They came in the narrowest setting from the dealer. Leaving the centers with the dish out as they came, and taking the right side tire/rim and moving it to left, and left tire/rim to the right gained about 16" of total width and it feels so much more stable now.
I was worried it would be too wide to fit between my trailer fenders but even at this widest wheel setting on a standard width (car hauler type) trailer there was plenty of deck width still.
I would highly recommend doing this if you want some added stability. It will be a 2 person job if you have water filled tires.

I had my L4300 tires set wider and when I moved them back narrower I was shocked at how unstable it felt. Nothing beats tires set a little wider. Mine aren't loaded but were still a lot of work for one person.

Any pics of your tractor?
