With no attachment on the front, the sulky or trailer tongue would just drop down to the ground. The roller rest prevents this from occurring.

Below is a picture that may help.






The later two wheel tractors cannot utilize a roller rest as the hitch was changed. In a case like that an attachment on the front helps balance things.

That is a Gravely cart made for the two wheel tractors or a clone. Note the funny bend in the tongue.
