Sorry Dick,
I must dis-agree with you. I agree the front axle will tilt vey far but it cannot go over sideways without, going over the outer wheel (out rigger) or colapsing the front axle linkage. If the design is not strong enought to take is load it is indeed not as safe in that situation. And I agree that the axle does not react the side roll mode until its movement bottoms out. You are right on there.
As a mental thought... what if the fron axle were 15ft. wide? Evenwith this muck rocker movement is that not more stable than a tricycle?
Yes I will agree the some high clearance tractors like the AC B shown may be designed such that at the point the axle bottoms out it can already be past the sideways rollover point. But even then to turn upside down it needs to pick itself up and over that out rigger point.
