That was always a concern with the tri-cycle front ends. We went to wide front ends on the second Allis Chalmers (WD-45) in 1953----and never looked back.
Interestingly enough we were always aware of that danger and only rolled one---and that was not on a hill---nor did my brother or I do it---the old man managed to do that one.
Funny only because he wasn't hurt---except his pride---and not much damage to the tractor.
I was probably 10 at the time and we were running wheat. The combine at that time had a bagging floor and I was on the bagger. I did something wrong---have no idea what anymore--and Pop was looking back and giving me what for. He failed to notice the corner coming up and ran over a road bank---laying the tractor on the side.
Apparently I had enough presence of mind not to laugh at that moment----I'm still alive. I do remember my brother and I yukin it up in the barn afterward when Pop wasn't around :D Overall I think more got turned over acting dumb with a front end loader than anything else. For the really bad hills we had a Cletrac which is what both my brother and I started on---and ya I have one today ;)
