I'm in a mountain and side-hill farming area. Roll-overs are rare . . . at least with farmers. You just have to use a little common sense. E.g., if you going up a real steep hill with heavy equipment on the rear hitch, go up backwards. If going sideways on a steep bank, keep rear stuff low to the ground.

He was 68 years old and farmed his entire life.
