John, While it would be very difficult to break the rear axle housings by hooking up to the "U" bar rather than a swinging drawbar, it is "ALWAYS" best to use the swinging drawbar to pull heavyb loads. Farmall swinging drawbars are designed to assist in holding the front end of the tractor down and thus prevent walking the gears and turning over backwards. If you notice the swinging bar is pivoted well ahead of the rear axle to achieve this end. Also the additional length of the swinging drawbar allows you to make sharp turns without tire interference. I"ve seen wagon tongues, disk harrows and drag sections end up climbing the rear tires because the turning radius is drasticly shortened when hitching to the "U"bar. That extra length that the swinging drawbar provides is crucial in many tasks.
