tractor roll
Very sad. It's just not the same operating a tractor as a 4wd.
I wonder if there was a roll over protection.... I've been close a couple of times. Sad.

Always sad when its unnescessary Royce.
So true about the difference in vehicle types ... that knowledge and appreciation would probably be worth more than roll cages.
Not familiar with the track terrain but the write up description of it suggests that its not the flat paddock terrain tractors belong in.
Is it a "track" or a better formed road ??? ... If it is only a track ... bit callous of the authorities to deem it a statistic in the "road toll" ... makes one think incorrectly of hoons, speeders and drink drivers.
