WIthrespect, all springs (with very few exceptions)have spring rate. This is the amount of increase in tension/compression that occurs for every mm, or fraction of an inch it is stressed. That spring on mikes tractor will get stronger when "tightened" BBBuuutt it may be already so tight that it coilbinds when mike is in the saddle. (Mike could put a feeler gauge .002" between the coils when sitting on it to see if it is. If not tightening the nut would be in the right direction.
Again with respect, if springs acted like you indicate, cars would bottom out when anyone got in. Springs do get stronger as they are compressed or stretched. JimN
