All rollovers are a malfunction of the operator. If a person does not feel comfortable with the situation he is in he should get out of it. I live in western Kansas. It is flat. But we do have terraces and ditches. I mow a ditch near my house with my Super A. I keep the engine on the upside. Eventually it gets steep enough so that I am afraid it will tip -- I then quit. The worst situation I got into was with a JD 4020. I was blading (sweep plow or undercutter) a terrace in a field I was not familiar with. Seems to me the slope changed immediately, and I was at a 45 degree angle in a few feet. I stopped, got off and got someone else to move the tractor. Some tractors are safer than others, but in the end it is up to the operator. I know some people "have" to farm steep slopes, but it isn't going to be me.
