As the pressure exerted against a tractor becomes stronger, short or quick turns can rapidly change the vehicle's center of gravity and cause the tractor to tip over. Fortunately, both of these forces can be controlled through the application of proper safety precautions. Remember, a tractor's center of gravity should be kept as low to the ground as possible when it is moving. A bump is less likely to tip the tractor and there is less chance that centrifugal force will upset it when turning. Tractors should be driven no faster than conditions will allow.
Speed reduces the stability of tractors.
Be alert to hazards in your path such as rocks, holes, or other obstructions and make your turns cautiously and at reduced speeds. Proper braking of the tractor also reduces the chance of upset. Braking only one pedal at higher speeds can force your vehicle to swerve abruptly and roll over. When travelling downhill, shift to a lower speed before you begin to descend and let the engine do most of the braking. This will help avoid the possibility of a runaway tractor which could flip over.
