What part do you disagree with?
The rear axle shafts still remain as the pivot point in a backwards roll over... but I certainly agree that most three point mounted equipment will prevent a backwards roll. Most tractors are sufficienly balanced such that as the plow or whatever is behind touches the ground, or the lift linkage reaches it's maximum height, then it will stop it's climb there. I've worked with one particular impliment... a three point Massey Ferguson trip bucket loader though... it would latch straight up in the air. If you happened to upend the tractor with that attached then the tractor could go over backwards. Most times not, but in certain situations. I believe my old man siad he nearly did that a long time ago. Always warned me about it, but I never had it happen. Most backflips happen as a result of someone pulling from too high of a hitch point, and in that situation there is nothing to prevent a backflip...
