The reason for backing on is when it puts down pressurre on the front wheels of the tractor and they cannot flip over backwards. Loading front first is like doing a wheely when pulling and the front end comes up and if you do not get that clutch down fast enough the front of the tractor goes overthe top of your head and you are under it. You know what wheely bars are on a pulling tractor? Going front up you are in the same position as that tractor running on those wheely bars eccept the front of the tractor is likely to be higher than that tractor on the wheely bars depending on trailer height and ramp length. Just think about it would you want that front end to be lifting up and over as in that pull that they use the wheely bars to keep from going clear over or with the tractor putting down pressure on the front wheels. Every year there is somebody that has a rear flip loading a tractor at a show and gets killed. Years ago before the rollback bed implement dealer trucks and they used a flat bed truck with ramps it was common place to hear about a dealers driver loading a tractor trying to drive it on and they were found under the tractor where it did a back flip. You can tell I like backed on but have loaded tractors the other way but my trailer beds are less than 18" from the ground. Lot different than if the trailer bed is 3' above ground and ramps are same length. And when you get halfway up the ramp and you start sliding down a lot easier to keep the rear wheels on the ramps if you can guide it going down than if the steering wheels are following down as well and sliding to one side or the other.
