i had a mud bog tug of war with a 600 grizzly golf cart................nobody won. he could not pull me and i could not pull him. (i got covered in mud he dident............trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro) he also tried in 4wd and did not pull me still!!!!!!
with the rope tied onto both of our tow balls there is no way either of us could flip over right?????????? my dad reckens it was dangerous. but i think because the ball is inline with the axel it could not possibly flip

what do you think

I would say flipping is a slight possibility. Your putting downward pressure on the axle, that'll make the front end rise.

I learned this during my tractor pulling career, it used to scare the crap out of people. I'd strip the tractor and get in the lightest class I could, and let it rear up. Go a couple hundred feet with the front wheels 2' in the air.

Front end will come up until the axle, hitch point, and other end of the hitched cable / chain are in a straight line.

Any more than that, the hitched cable is now picking 'up' on the hitch point, causing the front end to tilt down.

Only caveat to this is keep the center of gravity in front of the rear axle, and the hitch behind. Easy to do with a tractor. Probably with a three wheeler too; I'd say you'd be quite safe.
