I think maybe the reason it did not continue to roll was my son welded a very strong canopy to put on the rops. It wanted to come on over but the canopy frame pushed it back.
Tractor rolled over on me this morning

Hard to appreciate the terrain and circumstances from the non the less, appreciated picture.

I am glad you are O.K.
Looking at the pictures, are those concrete weights on the front of the tractor? If they are, I believe that the height of the weights contributed to the roll over. It appears that the weights are above the natural center of gravity for the tractor.

I didn't see the two other pictures. NASTY terrain for sure! My first impression seeing the other two pictures, is that, it is no place for a rubber tired tractor. I agree on the possibility of the concrete having contributed, but would want to see the machine upright on level ground. If I start to feel uneasy, the first thing I do is lower everything possible, without creating a new hazard, like catching on something.

Does not look like a $100 tow job, it looks more like $500 "off road" recovery....

Those are indeed concrete weights on the front that I made. I have an 8' land plane and pulling it at times my front wheels would come off the ground. Tractor weighs 3000 lbs so I was trying to get more weight on the front. One time when the front came up it ended up $1200 , in repairs.

I mangled the steps to our tractor on a stump in high grass. Never a good idea to be working blind.
If you are going to hire help, you have to decide if they are just going to upright the thing, and you or they will get it running on the spot, or haul it out of there, not running. BIG difference in cost, I'm sure.

Once I get it up I plan on letting it sit there for a few days.

I don't know if it was discussed. How quickly did you shut it down?
