Told myself I wasn't gonna address this any more; but I lied.....to myself. The purpose of hooking to the three-point hitch (LOWER ARMS, can't believe anyone would hook to the top link) is to transfer some weight (to the rear/pulling tires) from both the front end and from whatever you're hooked to. So, with the lower arms raised......to whatever degree......, as the front end comes up, the three point GOES DOWN until it comes level with chain/cable until IN THEORY the tractor stops its rotation around rear axle. If the tires don't spin and the load doesn't move, what happens????? Don't know; never had that to happen; that's one of the things Dave was asking. Of course, if you're on a hill-side, things get much more complicated. Any tractor can be turned over; I've personally known 2 people that killed themselves by turning crawlers over.
