If you are pulling in reverse with a chain hitched to the front, the forces applied make it almost impossible to flip the tractor. That said, the damage you could do to a front end doesn't make it worthwhile. Some tractors have a front hitch point, mainly for reversing 4 wheeled trailers. I have occasionally use this method when doing delicate work such as pulling a cow out of a bog as you can keep watching the cow without turning around. When you are pulling in the usual way, if the front wheels leave the ground, the drawbar drops and this counteracts the force so the tractor will not backflip. This only applies if you are on firm, flat ground and the chain holds. If something breaks them your day will get all spoilt. If your front wheels leave the ground you should consider it a warning sign.
