My dad and I skidded logs for years with an 8N Ford- it had a loader, so more resistance to flipping over backwards. We were just pullng straight logs, so little danger of snagging on something- tops would be more dangereous, you need to cut off the branches before pulling. We just pulled from the 3 point drawbar- its actually safer than just a straight pull, because when you lift the front of the log with the 3 point, you eliminate the primary problem of the front of the log catching on a root or pothole and flipping you over. Would be willing to bet your're using a grab hook rather than a slip hook, hence the chain won't tighten under load, and it slips off.
