I was taught to always connect the tractor to anything you are planning to pull (chain, rope, or implement)at the draw bar or other connecting point located between the center-line of the rear axle and the ground surface. This rule, when followed, will prevent the over-turn action during a pull. I believe we will probably find this rule was violated by the tractor operator in this accident.

I was always told to pull stuff like that in reverse so the tractor does not filp. Pulling from the rear if the tractor stops the rear wheels keep on moving forward and next thing the front raises off the ground Keep on going and you are upside down.

If you hook to the rear of the tractor below the center-line of the rear axle, I believe the wheels will spin before tractor will over-turn. It should be noted however that the rear wheel(s) must be "free-to-spin" (not tied or chained to something immoveable such as the ground or a railroad track.

All I know is that my Rears are filled with fluid and when I plowing and go to deep and hit something the front end starts a raising.

The front gets "lighter" for two reasonswhen plowing, the hydraulic lift pulls upward on the plow (manual or automatic draft action) and the tractor is pulling on the plow.......however, the tractor will not over-turn when pulling the plow or other implement because of the location of the attachment being on the trumpets and below the axle.
