It's unfortunate and very sad that recent events prompt this question, but, in the interest of safety, I'm going to ask. I agree that hooking a chain around an axle or to the top link is an absolute no no. If a chain is hooked to the appropriate drawbar, couldn't there be a condition of enough torque and traction to still flip? This would require that the tires would have to move backwards as the distance between the puller and pullee shortened. I suppose this might be self limiting as the slippage required to move backwards would hopefully let the wheels spin? Clearly a pulling tractor can raise the front wheels so the drawbar pull isn't putting only downforce on the front wheels. I'm not into following tractor pulls. Has a pulling tractor ever back flipped with an appropriate drawbar connection?
