I have to agree with you, although my experience happen about 30 years ago. Brand new JD 4620. Big tires on back. Hydraulic FWA. Extra fuel tank on the front. Pulling a 6x18 plow late in the fall. We had a little snow the night before. Going up a not to steep hill, I tried the same thing, just for giggles. Threw the switch on the FWA. Nearly stopped completely. Turned the FWA back on. Front wheels started digging and throwing mud like crazy, but up the hill we went. Brother-in-law was in the same field with a 4320, no FWA, pulling 5x18's. He had to stay on the flat ground as he couldn't make the hill at all.
My 2 cents
