I do quite a bit of weight transfers but just for the heck of it I tried a tug pull. I pull a good running super77 and super88 but I got my but kicked by John Deere B's? All I can figure is that its how their hitch is set up. Mine is about 22 inches from the center of the rear axle on both my tractors. The JD B's are about 20. I run two turn buckles(about a foot and a half long) from the sides of my hitch to where the stock arms connected to the stock hitch. These JD B's that I pulled against had two turn buckles about 3 and half feet long from the sides of their hitch to the bottom of where their seat mounts. The drawbar itself runs out of the same place the stock one did. Having the turnbuckles hooked higher on the rear of the tractor, how does that affect your pulling. If you can understand how their hitch is setup and have any idea why this works so well please leave some info!

My hitch is where it is at because I need the lift on the front end. I can put in to 18 if I wanted but the way my tractors are set up the pull better being pulled out a little ways.

if you wanted to try a heavier class and be able to throw weight around, your hitch shouldn't matter if it is farther in or not. just try what you fell you should, and have fun.

any hitch component above the rear axle acts as a lever to help raise the front end. it changes the weight transfer of the tractor. I assume you are talking about deadweight pulling on asphalt? usually there is only a hight limit, no measurement from the rear axle. hope this helps

I put a steel tie rod from my hitch all the way up to my front wheels. This pulls down on the front wheels and allows me to run with all my weights on the back. I have had other puller complain because I've won ever class I've pulled in after adding the tie rod.

there is some antique pulls that are dead weight pulls, but, I am a JD man myself and feel that they are easier to balance. I dont' feel it's the hitch rig, its you only have your hitch in to 22, it should be in as far as you can get it, or else to the limitations.
I don't know this for sure, but hope it might give you some ideas
