whatever model tractor,

pull from 'as designed' spots

underbelly drawbar is best.

when I'm pulling something that is way too heavy or might get hung up, I chain it to a blade or box blade just off the ground.

Gets hung up and the blade whacks the ground and I spin the tires.

Or the front comes up just the amount the blade was off the ground and I keep dragging the whole mess, steering with the brakes.

pulling from the under belly drawbar or an implement as the tractor is designed makes that log that dug in, just like a bottom plow or subsoiler that hooks a root or rock. stops you cold and spins the tires or breaks stuff.

watch some tractor pull videos where the weight skid is designed to dig in and stop you. tractors come up till the centerline-chain-hook point are in a straight line...that's it, when properly hooked.

disclaimer....really dumb or crazy operators can still find a way.. usually trying to 'jerk' an immovable object...
