One reason for working in zones, like this, is that you're less likely to cause any smears in the areas that have been completed that would reduce the sharpness of the fine details.

For the most part, they seemed to work on center elements and then outward, which means you'd be able to keep your hand from putting pressure on sections you've already colored.

In my experience with photorealistic colored pencils like this, I preferred to work in layers, mainly because so much of getting the colors right depends on the surrounding colors, so it was easier for me when the rest of the color context was already laid. But this subject would be easier to do in zones, since the primary palette for the fur is black/browns/grays/white, so less color context is needed.

Almost certainly intentional, done for the camera.

Anyone with more than half an hour of tractor driving experience will have had the front wheels come off the ground a few times, and will know to instantly step on the clutch. This fixes the problem right away, every time.

This guy waited until he had the front end lifting, then immediately jumped out without any hesitation. Which means he planned to do just that, instead of declutching.

Are you maybe seeing a different medium? Coloured pencils relies less on having an active underpainting than say oil paints. Plus hyperrealistic art requires a lot of pre planning so the forms move about less so painting zone by zone is more viable in a weird way. Though you can do either in most styles and mediums you just gotta adjust to your preferred workflow

Having grown up driving tractors from 12 yo, there was a complete absence of presence of mind there. As others have said - push the clutch in and it would have solved itself.

What's causing it is that the tractor is rear wheel drive, so the drive in the rear wheels is what's causing it to lift.

Alternatively, reverse out.

Much like going up a steep hill, if you go up forward, most of the weight is at the back and it may raise at the front and flip. Instead, you can reverse up the hill, provided it isn't too steep.
