Overview

This short, focused tip explains why running a tractor too fast during tillage or ground-engaging work risks breaking the three-point hitch or attachments when you snag a root. Tony uses a live field example to walk through the physics, kinetic energy, sudden stops, and where stress concentrates, then makes a simple case for moderate, steady speed. Useful for newer tractor owners who haven't yet learned to read terrain and throttle together.
