Yea tenders are pretty much neutral balanced and will work the pin out if it doesn't have a safety pin.
When my tedder is in transport position it's actually pulling up on the draw bar.
I use a short hitch pin with a 1/4" linch pin.
I lost a baler in the field once, was using one of those cheap hitch pins that look like they have a flat washer welded on top. Washer broke off and the pin dropped thru the draw bar.
Was going down a steep grade in the field (neighbors field) when I heard a noise, looked back in time to see the baler tongue dig into the ground and both tires come about 2 ft off the ground before it set back down, thought it was going to flip over, was able to turn off the pto before it did any damage.
Had to chock the tires and get a tractor with front end loader to pick the baler tongue up so I could sing the tongue jack into position before hooking it back up to the tractor.
After that I sorted thru all of the hitch pins, any that were the welded washer design got tossed in the scrap pile.
