No tire size limit, just no radials. the only specs for the hitch at this time is 20 inches high,, the hook point can be any where you decide to place it, Just a word of advice,, the closer the hook point to the rear axle, the better it will balance the tractor for deadweight. I have found that brand new tires work perfect!! The hot tire to run is firstone all tracs. the tread pattern resembles the front tires on a front wheel asssist tractor,, not a long bar short bar,, I belive it is called a long bar long bar tire. They have more bars on the tire than the regular tires. We run duels,, Stones, 15.5X38 on the JD,, hooks up very well, we finally got it dialed in with tire pressure, and have made it up into the top 3 places (out of a class of 30 to 40 entries) My opinion is the fast hitch is too far back on a dead weght puller, along with any stock style hitch, you need to be able to alomst put it straight in the air,, (sounds crazy but I think you know what I am talking about) and use weights behind the wheels as a counter balance. Remeber, hitch point,, closer is better in this case. Hope this helps, Chad
