Though this SOUNDS like a good idea,keep in mind the physics of the 3 point.Pulling from ANY point above axle center height puts you in severe danger of backflipping the tractor.If you have a front loader,it will help counteract,but not negate this danger.A wheeled arch or"dolly" similar to a very basic car dolly would be much safer.Three pt hitch is designed to "pull" safely only in the down position.
