This link points to one of the ASAE drawbar
standards for wheeled tractors. It will give you
an idea of what a design standard is; in this
case, location of hitch point with respect to tire
contact.

As an Ag Engr graduate 40 years ago, I will tell
you that overturning by pulling on a properly
positioned drawbar doesn't happen. As the
front of the tractor rises, the overturning
moment decreases, and the tipping action
ceases. This is NOT the case of a plow
snagging a stone where momentum is the
principle force. I know this bothers your sense
of intuition, but only hitch to a properly
positioned drawbar, and you'll be OK.
