Not sure how it all works. Many years ago, took my 1950 Case DC to the local fair to pull. Was in the 6000 lb class with tons of other tractors. Didn't do all that well but had fun. Did put it on the dyno while I was there. In that class, were lots of M's, including two MD's. I watch both MD's dyno, and their hp was in the 40's. At the end of the pull, there was a 9000 lb powder puff. I convinved my sister to pull the DC, as there were only a handful of tractors. She was concerned with lifting the front end. We added all the weight we had along that night, and weighted in at 7850 lbs. Both MD's were in the class, and didn't add any weight at all. I told my sister to just engage the clutch, and run it until it stalled. The DC actually outulled/outlugged both of the MD's. I figured they would spin out long before the DC, but they both ran out of power before the old Case.
