You are mostly correct here with a word of caution. The 1940's, -50's and 60's era tractors do not have downward pressure on the hydraulic system. (I cannot speak for later technology) And as such will not prevent a rear flip as such. If the tractor does want to go over backwards then the implement will first rotate around the lower lift arms putting the upper link into compression. Then the inplement and lift arms will rotate around the lift arm attach points.
Finally the lift mechenism is usuall not strong enough to prevent a roll over if it's going to happen. The linkage will break or buckle (bend)before stopping a tractor.
My Thinking here is if you run a tractor up a tree the implement will not keep it from going over. (there is a photo of this an 8N verticle against an oak but I couls not find it)
