Maybe use a chain with a slip hook for the stuck ones.
If you pull from the drawbar at any but a very SLOW pace and the towed load encounters an immovable object, a half buried boulder, a stump, etc., the tractor will go vertical in one second, faster than most people can get off the throttle pedal. Sometimes the tractor topples over backwards.Maybe use a chain with a slip hook for the stuck ones.
You got that a little bit backwards. The drawbar is down at or below the axle, so that's where you don't have the problem. Speed isn't in the equation, as far as tipping goes.If you pull from the drawbar at any but a very SLOW pace and the towed load encounters an immovable object, a half buried boulder, a stump, etc., the tractor will go vertical in one second, faster than most people can get off the throttle pedal.

I personally learned of this situation when towing tree debris behind my first tractor, a 2,000 pound bare weight 4-WD Deere 750 without a loader.

Giving Jeff the benefit of the doubt, speed reduces the reaction time to correct a potential hazard.Speed isn't in the equation, as far as tipping goes.
Pictures please.I jury rigged one myself.
Went to a Ritchie Bros auction. There were about 80 new pallet forks and nobody really interested.
The ones I got had the longer forks. I bought 10 sets at $40 each set.
I put the forks from 3 onto one frame. Few minor welds and it works great.
I sold the rest for a tidy sum.
Jake: It was my tractor. I was on my tractor pulling debris attached to the rear/center Deere drawbar. The tractor went completely vertical and stayed there.

That's why you have to pull from the drawbar, down below the axle. I agree, pulling from the wrong point up above the axle will help to cause the front to come up.Jake: It was my tractor. I was on my tractor pulling debris. The tractor went completely vertical and stayed there. I fell off.
Later we secured a chain to the front end and pulled it back onto four wheels. Big crash. No damage.
You can theorize but in the real world this happens. Many instances of the early 2-WD Ford tractors going over, without ROPS to protect the operators. (no FELs on the early Fords)
It the operator is not fast, the driven rear wheels keep rotating, pushing the tractor over backwards.
