Allen, You are full of common sense...most of the time. However, this is one of those times you are not. Your 2nd paragraph tells me you are possibly too young to have pulled a disk (with no wheels) with an H or M in a plowed field?? When you try to turn at the end (with the disk in the ground full time) and the disk hitch is pinned to the "U" shaped drawbar you will have fun trying to turn the tractor even while pushing the brake pedal to help you.
Then try the same thing with the disk pinned to the swinging drawbar (letting it swing freely) and you can turn much easier....you will still have to use the brake a little to help the tractor turn, but not nearly the brake pressure is needed.
Third scenario would be to hitch the disk to the swinging drawbar and then using pins to keep the swinging drawbar from swinging. THAT's what makes it exciting for you as you drive straight into the fence!
The whole thing is all about the point of pull: 1.The swinging drawbar is attached IN FRONT of the rear axle. 2. The "U" drawbar is attached BEHIND the axle.
When plowing or pulling any other implement with wheels then turning is so easy it really makes no difference how you hook it up.
I'm 74 and hard of hearing but it would be fun to hear those brakes on a H or M squeal like crazy as a novice tries to turn without using the swinging drawbar as it was intended for!
