A narrow front end tractor will tip over easier than a wide front end tractor and the kind of tractor it is makes a lot of difference.If it sets high it will turn over easier than something like a Ford with a wide front end compared to say an M with a wide front end.Just watch somebody mow a bank with any tractor that will mow it,then try it with one that sets high with a narrow front end and tell me its the same.I have had one back wheel off the ground on my H with a loader on it on a little hump of gravel that a dump truck dumped in a pile that you can drive a Ford all over it and not even worry about it.If you think real hard about how you are going to do the job,a lot of times you can get the bank mowed,but you will have to go straight up and down with a tricycle front end,no matter who made it.
Some of the front end rearing up has to do with how much power you have besides what the others said.I know I was running a 1030 Case that is turned up and pulling a big disc.I was looking back at the disc and the front wheels hit a small washed out place like about the size of a road ditch and it pulled the front wheels off the ground when it crossed the ditch a foot in the air and carried them and I didnt even notice it until I turned around and tried to turn it straight and saw the wheels off the ground.That could happen in the past if you were looking back at what you were pulling and it came up on you especially in rough ground like I was in,and if they had steel wheels with lots of traction it could flip over.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
