In cars and trucks with an open driveshaft, the rotational torque of the driveshaft actually takes weight off of the right wheel and puts additional weight on the left (in vehicles with engines that turns clockwise viewed from the front). This is very evident in high-powered rear-wheel drive cars. On a hard launch (stoplight, dragstrip), this tendency of the driveshaft to "turn" the rear end causes the left front corner of the car to lift, and the right rear corner of the car to drop. This effect is much more evident in vehicles with open driveshafts and spring-mounted rear axles. On a tractor, with the engine, frame and rearend basically a solid unit, the effect is almost non-existant, as the frame has to flex in order for this to occur. Further, since the front of the tractor is either a narrow front, or a wide front with a center pivot, it is more likely that this torque-induced flex will simply cause the front of the tractor to lean slightly to the right, rather than causing a weight transfer from one rear wheel to the other. On transverse-crankshaft tractors (John Deere two-cylinders) this torque effect is non-existant, since the crankshaft and rear axle are parallel to each other.
