Subject: And as close to the ground as possible.



And as close to the ground as possible. Most three points don't hold down, they only lift so with a heavy pulling load that hitch will lift and when the lift gets up to axle center (not that high even) the wheel torque will spin the tractor right up over the axle and it will land upside down on the wagon. The Fordson was notorious for that and farmers who tried to pull a stump with a chain wrapped around the axle housing usually didn't live to tell about it. You have to keep the hitch point low to prevent that. The three point won't accomplish keeping the hitch point low.
