Most importantly it brings the load in below the plane of the axle. Pulling back on a point below the axle tends to pull the front of the tractor down. You want this because the engine is trying to lift it up.
Another tip from an old manual: if you think there is any chance your tractor is frozen to the ground always back up to break it loose. If you pop the clutch in forward with the rear tires frozen down they may stay fixed while the entire tractor rotates around the axle. Guess which way it rotates and who ends up on the bottom.
