Don,
I have heard everyone say that you want to hitch as high and as short as is allowable. I have been pulling my M for quite a while and it does better hitching back at 20 & 22 inches. It seems to pull down better on the M design. When the front wheels are just floating you are balanced correctly. The next problem then becomes power. We have a slow first gear and we pull slowly, like an old JD. With 14.9 or 16.9 tires we are traveling at 3 mph at 1650 rpms and you don't have to worry about running past the pace tractor. An M with the 3 mile per hr. 1st gear will run out of power quickly. To gain even more power we have removed a half inch from the head. I have never check teh HP, but I would guess it to be around 80 in the slow first gear at 1650 rpms.
