What should be done if a tractor starts to tip over?

Staying inside the cab and leaning toward the direction of the roll is the safest action to take if a tractor begins to tip over. This practice minimizes the risk of injury during a rollover incident. The design of tractor cabs is intended to provide a protective space for the operator, and remaining inside helps preserve this safety benefit.

Leaning toward the direction of the roll can help shift your body weight in a way that may improve your chances of staying upright within the cab. Attempting to jump out of the cab, on the other hand, generally increases the risk of injury, as exiting a moving or tipping tractor can lead to being trapped underneath it. Sharp steering maneuvers can exacerbate the tipping, and attempting to brace the tractor with your arms is not feasible due to the significant forces involved in a rollover. Thus, leaning inside the cab is the most advised and effective approach when faced with a potential tipping situation.
