These guys all have good points, but I can tell you from experiance going up hill with a load can flip you over quick! If the rear wheels are weighted and are getting good traction and you are pulling a load say like a log or a grader blade and it catches something in the ground the front end will raise up on you fast. If the hill is steep enough you don't have to have a load to raise the front. Just yesterday my M gave me a wake up call. I had a mower on the back and going up a steep hill with the mower raised I hit a 3" dia stick with the front tires and up she went! The mower stopped it from going over(this time) but that M can bend those hitch parts on the mower and let it go over the rest of the way. If you are going up hills very often remember this...a little slippage on the rear wheels is your friend!
