   Pulling my '51 CA I am getting to much front end rise, I mean like rodeo style whoa horsey!

I have the stock Pin hitch and drawbar supports but with a shortened drawbar so that the hook point is right at the edge of the support. Height is 20" which is the max allowed.

Typically the chain length is 4' so it is on the shorter side.

Running in 2500 I am right at the weight limit with no weights.
In 3000 I typically run the side engine weights and also suitcase weights at the mid mount (Right in front of the brakes).
This last time I had 300 lbs of mid mount weight plus engine weights and still the front end comes up to much.

I guess I need to fab a front weight mount for smaller weights to get more weight to the front.
Lower the hitch height to get less pull down?

	First step is move weight as far forward as possible. Than lower drawbar if needed. 20 inches is pretty high for that small of a tractor class

	My CA hitch is 18"back and 20" high. No issues with the front lifting unless on a hard track and @ 3k. I'm using 16.9 x 24's @ 7lbs of air. In the 2500 class the front just lifts slightly but still able to steer, no weights on front in either class. dg
