Avery: The spring definately does have some benefit, no question in my mind about that. The whole hitch system on the little tractors are quite light. I have two short chains with hooks on one end. If I'm going some distance especially if it's rough, and with a heavy implement, I put a chain on each side around rear rockshaft to cross bar of hitch. I then lower hitch so chains are taking all the weight. I've always done that.

That hydraulic touch control system was designed for lifting center and rear mount cultivators. The weak point came in using it for a hitch and drawbar. These little tractors are capable of far more load than most folks realize. I expect the engineers that designed them never dreamed farmers would acomplish as much work with a Super A, 100, 130 or 140 as lot of folks have.

My Farmall 130 pulled a 130 bushel manure spreader a couple of years, spread all the manure from 50 mature holsteins plus replacment heifers. Back in those days manufacturers called those a Farmall H or 300 spreader. The very first year I ever plowed a 100 acres, Farmall 130 did it with 2x12 fast hitch plow.
