Centered weight, wheel width, wheel base, and height of tractor are all factors to cinsider when comparing stability. Really hard to compare stability between 2 tractors such as a 2n ford or a farmall A. Without a little experience of operating both it would be merely a guess which one is more stable especially when you consider wheel adjustments and added weight. Of coarse there are some obvious ones like the Farmall A is more stable than its tricycle version the Farmall B. Unsafe operation, reckless driving, in-proper hook ups, and careless operator are the main causes (about 99%) of all tractor roll overs. Always hook objects to be pulled to the factory draw bar. Hooking objects to the 3 point system to be pulled is a NO NO. Driving tractor and finding a ditch or something like that on a slope is another common mistake for flip overs. Any tractor can be flipped or rolled, IT IS THE OPERATORS RESPONSABILITY TO SEE THAT IT DON'T.
