You have to look at the drawbar as a lever. As the tractor front raises & moves back, the drawbar lowers & moves forward.

So long as this drawbar is stiff (not 3point) ans does not break, the tractor can not flip over backwards.

Now, the tractor car rear up a whole lot, & scary things can happen. But it can't really flip over backwards. The drawbar, even tho it is short, prevents this.

At some point there is a balance.

Plowing with a 2pt plow I've had the front end rear up quite a bit. This is a tractor with fluid in the front tires. Add in the furrow, loss of steering, the 'wow' factor, and the plow digging in deeper, and real bad things could happen. But, it likely never would flip over. Likely. Got pretty high on my once tho, lucky I got the clutch & brakes in, let the front back down slow.....

If something breaks, anything can happen, all bets are off.
