Tractor Wheel Weights

What ever you are hitching to on the tractor is to high. If you have an 11 hole drawbar on the liftarms make sure the lift arms are down when pulling. If you have a drawbar bolted to the bottom of the rear axle, turn it over so the hitch point is lowest.
Does your tractor hitch look like the one in this picture?? I hope you are not hitching to where the top link is supposed to hook, above the axle, you'll get killed

Hear in Arkansas I have seen the highway department run a cable from the front of the tractor, I assume it to be attached to the front axil, then it is attached to the drawbar and it hung under the tractor. I understood it was so that if they had to pull each other out of a wet spot, part of the force was place on the front end to keep it down. Has anyone seen this or know why that would not work.

If the front did raise up it would only go as far as the implement on the back would allow it before it hit the ground in the back. We NEVER towed anything without an implement on the 3 pt.

I know there are ways to cheat with a tractor, towing things like logs and other heavy things, and a lot of people do it, each to their own, it's still a dangerous thing to do, if that log were to bind up on something, and your front axle is already off the ground, things can get out of hand quicker than you can react to it. I've tested my old 850 ford on a few things, seems the wagner loader certainly helps add weight to the front, and hitching below the axle helps. I've towed a few small logs up hill on occasion, although it seems to handle them well, it is still a stressful ride, so I kinda refrain from doing it, never know, get careless one time, don't take much,
