You were multiplying the load on that clevis quite a bit by doing the running start. Something has to give so you're just asking for trouble by doing it that way. Some guys hook a tire in between to absorb some of the shock load. It helps to hook up short to try and pull up hill a little rather than pulling on a tractor anchored solidly in the ground. Be careful.
