Thats the worst case scenario, it depends on the actual conditions, some tractors are ok to a certain point, and most will say its better with an experienced operator, but even then, the most experienced will and can have a problem when something unforseen happens, or they get complacent over years, so I find its best to err on the side of safety, especially if new at it. A man just over the hill from our land here, got bumped off a 640 ford with a rotary mower on, he was run over, then went through the mower, I have not posted the article in a long time.
When I was a kid, our ford had the S-O-S transmission fail, as a friend of dads with good intentions serviced the trans and put the wrong fluid in, really made me mad, as I mostly ran the tractor. We had to borrow a friends, a 2010 narrow front, and let me tell you, places I went with that ford, that I went with that 2010 were frightening, and while not being a newbie, I was to that style of tractor, I had no business being on it, not knowing I really should not have been in places that were no problem before, it never seemed like I came close to tipping over, but the feeling you get on that higher up tractor, is no comparison to the lower '64 4000 ford. My 850 ford with a wagner loader, loaded tires, with a 6' rotary mower feels safe on the same ground, I use a thick/heavy cast iron weight from an old ford aircraft tug in the winter, its below the axle line, you would have to go to something really steep or someplace where no tractor belongs to tip it over. I can watch the flex of the tire and see if one side gets light, its not very often.
Depending on the conditions of what you maintain, you may be looking at the wrong piece of equipment. Someone should post an image of a 2110 ford or similar, LCG tractor, that is as about as good as it gets for tractors and slopes.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
