I had a boom pole on the rear of my TB110 this past weekend. I had some skidding tongs hooked to a rather large tree top and was attempting to pull it out into the open where I could cut it up and pile it on the stump to burn. I lowered the boom pole pretty low so as to minimize the risk of the tractor rearing up in the front (its heavy with a FEL). I had the tractor in low turtle and very slowly let it move foreward. As the pressure and wt. of the tree top increased with the chain tightening, my 3 point arms went to the ground. I backed up and they came back up again. This is the newest tractor I have ever owned. Is this a safety mechanism to prevent flipping, or are my rear hydraulics flawed?
