On the A, B, BN design, the drawbar attaches to the final drive housings, so no significant stress is placed on the engine/transmission/torque tube while pulling a load from the drawbar.
All of the pulls I participate in here in western PA start at 2500 and go up, usually 500 lb increments, although a couple do 1000 lb increments. The problem you will run into is that for the weight/HP ratio, you will end up being in higher weight classes to keep from losing traction. Those higher weight classes also tend to have the higher HP. This summer , I pulled my F30 HAN in the 5500 class. I stayed with everything that competed, and I always ran out of traction. When I tried the 6500, I didn't run out of traction, but got outclassed on the HP.
Power to weight ratio is key, and a properly tuned C-113 will surprise you at what it can do. I have a BN that I use to skid logs out of the woods for firewood......many times I came out of the woods steering with the brakes because the front wheels were off the ground.....as I posted before is the light front end is the challenge. For the size and weight, the A, B, BN design will do a surprising amount of work.
