I hope everyone here realizes that operating a tractor on un-even
ground is VERY dangerous business. Statistics are not at hand, but I
believe that farm work in general and tractor driving specifically is
one of the most dangerous activities one might engage in. I will
contend that it far exceeds the dangers of pesticide exposure.

In answer to the question, by the time you realize you are going over, I
believe it is too late; though going down hill is much safer than going
up hill, due to the drive torque lifting the front end.
