Stan,
I have 12.4x24 tires on my 100 and have no issues with plowing or using any other implements (Hugh probably has some input as well as he has sa 130 with 12.4s on it). I do have the front draft link hooked up and it definitely is a huge benefit when picking up some items. For example, when I pick up my disks, without using the front draft link, it will often scrape along the ground even at the highest setting, but with the front draft link down (bringing the implement to its highest point) it easily clears the ground. I do have a subsoiler that still does not clear the ground by about 2 inches but I there is also a component that I have mounted (it is a metal bar with two studs protruding from it that connects the lift link to the rear rockshaft arms-supposed to increase leverage on heavy items) and I may remove it temporarily as this may give me a slightly greater range.
I can't speak to the agri-supply 1 pt FH implements, I am too cheap so I am always buying them from farmers and restoring them. I have a 1 pt to 3 pt custom rig that works really well and its just a single piece of metal that slides into the FH socket but so far have only used it for a seeder and a dirt scoop, both of which it worked fine with. I do expect to try it with my neighbors chisel plow so that should provide a better workout and we'll see how it holds up.
Good luck
Ramon
