every one had good coments.
If you look at say a Farmall H. See where the drawbar attaches to the tractor. The pulling point for the bar is in front of the rear wheels.
Pulling from this draw bar it would be very very hard to flip it over. The harder you pull the more it pulls the front down. The same cant be said if you hook to the draw bar section that attaches to the axles or hooking any where else on the tractor.
I had hooked to the draw bar and also wrapped the chain around the draw bar section that connects to the axles and was told this was incorrect.
If you hook a chain to pull a stump or some thing always hook just to the draw bar.
I wont pull a stump with a 3 pt or fast hitch tractor. I cant see the pivot point on those. Fast hitch may be ok, but I like the plain draw bar hook in front of the rear wheels.
