Can all tractors flip over easy?

Those Roll bars are 3' too high and will upend you when they catch any overhang. They also need diagonal bracing.
That's why I called it a "simple" anti roll bar. It is only ment to stop one single event, but meanwhile I already banged into overhanging tree branches, lintels, etc and it (and me and Iseki) survived without damage. So very happy with it. A bit too high indeed, but who cares.

How you are configured and what you are doing is the question. I have lately begun to think that my 7106 FEL is ill suited for my 1220 Ford. It puts too much mass, too high, to be safe on anything but flat ground. I've had it on two wheels so often now, that I'm a bit paranoid. I'm also realizing that my vision isn't what it once was. Sometimes I'll walk a section with and with out my glasses. With the glasses, everything looks good. But then walking without the glasses, I can see and feel that the terrain is much more steep than I thought.
Totally have the same experience, but opposite; wearing glasses always now to stay on safe side cause without I'd underestimate details in terrain. Another thing is that if you're working on a slope for a long time it becomes so common, you don't realise that if you 'dive' into a pit you were already on so many degrees overhang. Experience counts heavily on mountain/hill-sides. Look at my photos below, it looks like a common field but I need to mowe in low 2nd gear upwards otherwise I'll overload my Iseki.
Somehow every season it seemed to cope, tiny tractor as it is, its mobility and realiability are great.

I thought about buying an older tractor like an 8N, but then I started reading about them flipping over. I'm sure you can use common sense be pretty safe, but I got to thinking that maybe all tractors could flip? Was looking for advice on safety. I was thinking I probably need a sub compact now because they look safer, but I could be fooling myself.

It for plowing new ground with stumps and roots, mostly the leftover roots.

Edit: I have no experience with tractors, if you couldn't tell.
I've seen cars, pickups, box trucks, buses, 18 wheelers, helicopters, airplanes, all flip and I've seen it. Never seen or know anyone who has flipped a tractor. I have heard of it happening. Been on a tractor since 10 years old.

Well, now you can add to your repetoire "I've read and seen about tractors flipping sideways" :)
Photo and tractor below aren't mine, by the way, but follow the link and learn...

ANYTHING, I mean anything will roll over if the 'angle of the dangle' gets too great. If one is concerned, I suggest getting an 'Inclinometer' and using it.

They can buy an apartment in town and ride a bicycle. Oops, I've seen bicycles flip over ....

Yes I'd wish that the politicians that "organised " throw-over of the twin towers, would have used an Inclinometer first so that it actually fell towards building7, in stead of raising only a small fire in it and having to demolish it, which then made it very clear proof of an inside job indeed...

Yeah she's become a beauty indeed, after 3 years of restoring. She nearly took my toe off when the new chassis fell during rebuild, but hey life's a ***** ;-)

First off, hats off to you and anyone that helped you, you did an awesome job with that restoration, Secondly, ditching the baby **** green for that blue was a good idea. 🤣

There are so few old Rovers where I live, and most of those are rotting away on tree lines.

Are you serious you need help !

You never knew building7 was demolished exactly the same way the twin towers collapsed? Well here's some info :
It only caught fire and then it was decided "to pull" the building, something that costs months and months to prepare. Know that building7 housed CIA head quarters in specially reinforced constructions, not a daily thing to pull. For this it's clear to me 911 was an inside job.

Thanks, it was a one-man show this restauration. Hence the time it took (apart from recovering from my accident and mostly picking up on my motivation after that). The weird collour before came from the car fleet of a company that had all its stuff in this colour. Therefor nobody wanted to buy this Rover and stood in a corner for more than 7 years until I discovered it. That was in the Netherlands. Now in France knowing how rare they are here (I've only seen 3 in the past 22 years!!! the French Series club assembles with about 30 cars) and seen that really every part is still available including galvanised frames and bulkheads, I went for the long run. Invested about 10k€ in it, nowadays they are worth >30k€ in brand new state. Mine is still in daily action so clearly subjective to damages. But that gives it a more natural look. I really love this car.

Surprised? That's what you get if you believe the media circus and do not investigate yourself... I'm just an ordinairy guy, did not believe that an aluminium aircraft could penetrate a steel constructed sky scraper build to resist an impact like this and then make it come down like?? well ?? right ! a well prepared demolision, tree times in a row. And the world watched and said: "oh the metal was so hot, it pan caked" yeah sure. Why did survivors hear bombs go off like clockwork before the collapse? Where did the heat come from to melt metal? Kerosine exploded on impact... Think again, before telling me to get help. It simple logic, which you should understand if you're the same type of engineer like I am, and the reason why I love old tractors, cars and bikes...

Honestly, it's nice seeing that you're using it daily; it's better for the truck to be run, and what good is it just sitting?

It certainly is still a daily workhorse, a sort of inbetween tractor-and-car; more mobile than a tractor and the winch is very handy for all kinds of purposes (like descending in a water well of 10m deep and then discovering the battery goes flat, what a laugh my wife and I had, but she managed to get me out alright), on the road too expensive and slow for long distances but towing a boat or fetching haybails goes very well.

Speaking of wives, I showed mine your Rover and of course she was a fan of the green.

You've got brass balls, dropping down that well on a winch cable!
