Pulling from the a point above the axle is never a good idea as it does greatly increase the risk of overturning.

And yes the Ferguson System does operate as described for latteral shock loads. Again you are correct in normal operation pulling a implement through the ground the lift will rise or let the suction force pull the implement deeper. However, if an object is struck (shock load) the top link loads up in compression and pushes past the normal travel range, compressing that big spring on the back and the hydraulic pressure is released immediatly.

You are also correct in that the system does not rely on the compressive force of the top link to push the front down. It's main result is the loss of hydraulic pressure, by opening the pressure relief valve.
