I just wanted you to be aware of the possibilities, Most likely you would never run into that problem. The F12 does not have enough power to do anything except die if you catch something. They were sold as a 2 plow tractor but were better sold as a single bottom tractor. And then it is in low gear all the time. The F12 has a high drawbar put not enough power to do that. The John Deere has a low drawbar so that lessens the possibility. Now take that 2 bottom plow you are pulling with the F12 in low gear and switch to a Moline U or UB that has a very high drawbar (twice as high as a John Deere) and has 3-4 times the power of that F12 and Put that Moline in third or even fourth gear and open it up you would be moving with that plow and if the plow cannot unhook and you hit something to bring the plow to a dead stop The tractor is going to do something quick and that could be no more than dammaging the plow, it could jerk the front end sideways depending on how the plow is hitched or raise the front end of the tractor And depending on how it is hitched it could rear up like the tractors at the pulls and do the same thing they have to have the weelie bars on and that is to keep them from going over backwards. The probability of something happening other than you getting bounced around and hitting the steering wheel with your chest or getting thrown off the tractor is very slight but can exist. So I just want him carefull and still be around. And the Fords with a 3 point hitch plow are the safest of all as far as rearing up and turning over because of the 3 point linkcage makes it rigid as for flex from front wheel to rear end of plow. Works same as the wheelie bars on the pulling tractors. The ones that were dangerous were the early Fordson tractors without fenders and they were the ones to roll over backwards in the instance of the plow catching and not killing the engine. That was the reason the fender was designed like it was to act like the weelie bars to be able to stop the tractor from going any higher than what the fenders would let it get to.
