I have had good luck with Saginaw on both an H and a C. I tend to agree with FC on the lift height, and that the C won't take too much weight on the rear before the front lifts, but otherwise ok. The front end can be weighted. The H and larger handle the weight much better. The Saginaw is very heavy duty and may be a little overkill for the C, but it does increase the capabilities of a tractor without fast hitch. Worksaver on a C uses the rockshafts, Saginaw has it's own cylinder which is better. One thing I have not seen much discussion of is that the aftermarket hitches are axle mounted. For heavy use, such as tillage, the semi-mounted plows were designed to pull from underneath, so you don't want to overload the 3-point, and you must keep the mounting brackets tight. I don't think I would want a mounted plow on one, but I haven't tried. Fast hitch at least partially pulls from underneath, the other parts are mostly frame mounted, rather relying on the axles. Same with the factory 3 points on the later models.
