I've been doing deadweight pulls for years with a ford 9n with a 3 point hitch drawbar with a clevis bolted in it and the front wheels don't even start to come off the ground on the ford. They don't even get light and the ford has pulled 205% on the deadweight pulls many times. The only tractors that look like they could flip over are the ones that the guys put all the weight on the back and they all have fixed drawbars that are supposed to be so good. 9n's are too light in the rear to get enough traction and they will spin out before the front comes up. You have more of a chance flipping over a vintage Deere with a center of gravity way up in the air and a narrow front end than you ever do on a jubilee or a 9n. My ford hugs the ground and ditches like a indy car compared to any of the old deeres or farmalls. THEY are by far the flipover hazard on any farm. All this BS about ford being flipover hazards is almost hard to sit and listen to. Look at the narrow overall width on some of the little utility tractors that they sell nowdays. They NEED a rollbar because you could tip one over getting on them! My friend sells new JD utility tractors and told me he wouldn't sell me one to mow the ditches I do because they would roll. He said, stick with the 9n,its much more stable on ditches.
