Never doubt how fast that tractor can kill you, if a spinning tire catches a root , one half a tire rotation kills you, the time it takes to get your foot on the clutch is surprisingly short as the front end raises, short wheel base tractors have their shortages. It sounds like you are on the right track with your hitch.
Modern tractors can kill ya too. But it's amazing how far things have come with 4x4 differential lock tractors, and ROPS.
Just got done fixing a tank dam that had washed out for a client, and then filling and back dragging a bad low spot on my place.
All with my 45hp.
