The answer is "depends".
Has the Super C had the 3pt conversion kit?
What do you intend on cutting with it?
How big a brush hog?
I have an old JD 5' "hog" that I use on occasion with my Super A to cut overgrowth from pastures, BUT:
1) the front gets pretty 'light' when carrying it.
2) You will need an overriding clutch on the PTO output shaft (don't leave home without it!)
3) On a full cut it requires more HP in tall grass or heavy weeds than the SA can provide, even in 1st gear. The SC would be about the same, depending on year.
4) The hog should have a lower ground speed to work best,
5) it should be run from a live PTO (with an overriding clutch).
If I had a choice, I'd use a bigger, better tractor for brush hog work, but my bigger better one is in the long (costly) process of an overhaul.
