All of those tractors you see mowing the interstate right of ways are 12 ft wide machines, at least, and are dragging 2 tons of batwing mower low to the ground. There is no way anything any of us have can hit the tilt those machines hit. All of us normal folk need a ROPS, seat belts, tilt kill switches and a VERY low pucker factor if we expect to live through the job. There is no amount of wheel weight, tractor weight or implement weight that can overcome the high center of gravity and narrow foot print of a compact or sub-compact tractor. I have a mitsu that is 49" wide that I absolutely will not trust beyond 0 degrees incline. If you see an incline, stay off of it and live to brag about not getting on it.
