Deuce trailer hitch height?

[Autocar]

I'm thinking of buying a deuce to pull an equipment(backhoe) trailer. Does anyone know the height of the pintle hitch above the ground and what size lunette the hitch will accept? Also, where can I get the male plug for the trailer wiring that would plug into the deuce female socket?

I can answer one of your questions: The specified pintle height is 36-1/8".

What do you plan to use for brakes...? There is a mil to civvy 8 pin adaptor available for the wiring.. If you are in hilly territory, the deuce is woefully underpowered for any commercial hauling..

I'm actually going to pull a halftrack around, so it doesn't matter if it's alittle slow. Thank you guys for the info!

To acetomatoco-I plan on using air brakes. Do you know who makes the wiring adapter and where I can get it?
