Nope, not the load carrying limit, but we're talking about when the front end will come up.

If the rear wheels are weighted and loaded, it takes power to over come that weight to actually turn the wheel. If the load weight on the hitch is such, additional wheel weight can "lower" the "event-horizon or point" where the front end will lift.

Follow me?

From a dead stop and releasing the clutch, that front end will lift easier if the "dead weight" of the rear wheels are heavier. Tractor wants to "rotate" around that axle rather than turn it.

Just like you've heard of a little Ford tractor flippin' over backwards because it's tires were frozen to the ground. Same principle.
