Corrections:
03:54 a big reason NOT to have suspension in the back is in order to pull implements at a constant height. A plow for example will pull itself down, and with suspension that could lead to a feedback loop where the plow pulls itself deeper into the ground, making it harder to pull, which lowers the back of the tractor (if it had springs that is) which would allow the plow to pull itself even deeper etc. This might even be the leading reason for not having springs, but somehow I missed this in my research. Excuses.
