Lanse,
Old gave some good advise that I will try and add a little to.
#1. When pulling on a stump or ? use as short a lenth of chain as you can, that way if and when it breaks there will be less of a steel "whip" flying thru the air. The closer your are the less chance the chain or a broken clevis can rise up and get you.
#2. By jerking hard enough to bend the draw bar I am going to say that you have caused damage to your tractor. But I can"t say when it will show or how big the bill will be....but one day!
#3. The two ends of the chain and what is at each end want to become level with each other. As an example and NEVER, EVER DO THIS; You hitch one end of the chain to the top link and the other to the stump/tree just above the ground, one of three things may happen, a. The stump comes up and out...not freakin likely! b. The tractor/chain/stump level out...you flip backwards. c. The chain/clevis break and snap back at the stump or snap up into your back.
Guys, I know he scares us all a little but we need to give him pointers not both barrels.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
