I would think that something like an M or maybe even a 4020 or 830 could flip over backwards but something like a 1486 or 2390 has an awful lot of front end weight and enough horse to just spin the tires. I know our 2390 has the power even with 20.8 radial duals to spin out in all kinds of soils and beleive me that front end never comes up. Before our neighbor sold his 2590 when we got our combines stuck in the muck he would hook a long thick cable to his 3pt and raise it all the way to put as much weight on the rear tires. Obviously in muck you would most likely spin before flipping but even hooked that high never raised the front axle. Plus with a cab and seat belt you have a rather safe protective cage if it were to go over. However to save lawsuits I suppose it is possible to flip any tractor hooked anywhich way. My biggest scare would be the cable or chain between the two.
