I've never even come close, but I always figured that by the time a wide front tractor tipped far enough to hit the stop on the axle pivot, I'd be looking for a safe place to bail off....
Sloroll's post below about a two-wheel narrow front tractor being more stable does make sense once you stop and think about it too...

And just for what it's worth, I'd never heard of a two-wheel narrow front tractor being called a "trike" until I read it on these forums. I always just heard tractors called "wide front" or "narrow front", with the "trike" term being reserved for single front tractors, since any other "trike", like a kid's tricycle or one of those half-vw/half-motorcycle rigs, has one front wheel and two rears. Funny how a small change in geography affects how we refer to similar things!
