I have a 53 Super C that I bought in 1985. I used it for plowing snow and hauling firewood and hogging pastures and all of the other stuff that one uses a tractor for on 45 non-farming With front and rear weights and the tires not loaded, it weighs about 3700 lbs. I think this is close as when we pull it, we can get down to the 3500 lb. class and can add enough weight to get easily up to 4500 lbs..... kind of thinking out loud here. And a Super C will pull good, too. Anyway---I have an aftermarket 3 pt. hitch on it from Cental Tractor and with a rear blade, I pushed a lot of snow for a lot of years. (Now I put the Western plow on the warm Cherokee, grab a cup of coffee and turn on the oldies station.) Anyway again--this was my main tractor for over 18 years. I hogged over 30 acres each summer with the Super C (with ORC on it.) Last year we went right through it, from engine to clutch to brakes to seals, etc. Now it parades, shows, and pulls. It's a great tractor and if I had to get rid of all of my tractors but one, the Super C would stay. So handy and maneuverable. too... My $.02
