If you are a novice, do yourself a favor and get a newer tractor with a ROPS. Close friend of the family rolled a Farmall narrow front, moving low and slow but in mud and slid sideways into a dip and rolled it. Broken ribs, leg, ankle, and pelvis. The only thing that saved him was the mud, the ground was really soft, he was pushed so hard into the mud it left the impression of the fabric of his clothing in the ground.
