The center of gravity is a fixed point in the tractor determined by the
distribution of the weight.  It does not change, even upside down, unless
something moves on the tractor, like lifting a loader.

The distance between the CG and the point about which it is pivoting does
change when the the end of the axle pivoting is reached and the pivot
point moves out.  When the CG goes beyond the point about which it is
pivoting, the tractor goes over.

That's the physics of the matter
