You've got the picture Dave! It isn't necessarily about the hitch. Lock the rear wheels of a 2WD machine (like parking in mud which subsequently freezes) and try to go forward and the machine will have the tendency to flip on its back. The same is true if one hooks to an "immovable object" and maintains traction. If you have bald tires or have slick mud you might get away with it but if you are "geared to the ground", you'll flip. I agree with you! People should always realize that they can flip therir tractor over under some realistic circumstances and all tractor users should be aware of the potential for this kind of accident.

I'd like to down load the link yo sent but I don't have the time this evening. The wording you have used in you note makes me believe that it's contained in that reference.
