You will get better results pulling from the drawbar, after all that is what Farmall intended. Pulling from the drawbar transfers weight two ways: 1) Tractor weight is transferred by the lever arm resulting from the height of the drawbar above the tire contact patch. 2) Assuming the drawbar is higher than the attachment point of the chain on the stump - the angle of the chain has a downward component which loads the rear of the tractor. This is why hitch height is controlled and inspected on pulling tractors.
Just be careful, keep ready on the clutch and you should be safe. Years ago the farmers in this area used to hitch the chain higher than the normal drawbar position - this practice can get you in trouble.
