I have never rolled my tractor. However - I sure got my first tractor stuck a few times. And on ground as flat as your pool table. I have a layer of glacial silt here that when wet is as slick as any grease ever manufactured. The R-1's would simply load up and I essentially had slicks - and that was in 4WD, no less. Thank goodness for patient neighbors. I learned a lot those first few years. I've not yet got my second tractor - Kubota M6040 - stuck. There are just certain times of the year and certain places that must be avoided. You fight Mother Nature - she is bound to win.
There is a saying regarding ground contact implements - - "weight is your friend". However - take care. A good thing can be overdone.
I've had two eight foot rear blades for my Kubota M6040. The first was an excellent Land Pride that went at 70 pound per foot. Great for winter snow plowing on my mile long gravel driveway. Did nothing but make sparks as I drug it down the same driveway in the summer. My new blade goes at 138 pounds per foot. You better watch what you are doing with the new blade or the ENTIRE driveway will end up in the ditch.
