Did you carfully read what I said. SA or A will pull on a stone boat 300% or 3 times own weight, roughly 7,000 lbs. The SC or C would have to pull 8,500 to 9,000 lbs., it cant do it. On hard ground the C or SC have too much tire and will kill engine before they reach 3 times own weight.I forget the figures but H or SH will come close. The various Ms however would have to pull 18,000 to 19,000 lbs. We used to have tractor pulls in my hometown in 1950s using this percentage criteria. You loaded the stone boat to operators desired weight and added 200 or 400 lbs as the operator wished until it stumped his tractor. His percentage was derived from weight pulled as a percentage of tractor weight. The Farmall SA, SH and Cockshutt 30 were the hard ones to beat. Most tractors using the percentage of own weight criteria will come in around 2.5 to 2.75 times there own weight no matter how much weight you add to tractor. The 3 I mentioned will push the 3 mark awfully hard. I have seen guys show up at these pulls with enough weight on tractor to sink a ship. It often didn't do much good, they just had to pull more. I have seen guys with big Farmalls, 6 cylinder Cockshutts and Olivers become humiliated. I have seen them weighing men and putting them on stone boat for weight, only to have a Farmall SA win.
