If the pull uses a long chain, 4' or more, it won't have a sharp downard angle which pulls down on the back of the tractor loading the rear end and causeing wheelies. The longer chain limits traction so to speak, and limits the load on the tractor. I can't remember any breakdowns from this type of pull in the last 5 or so years I have been doing it.
A super C should be able to make the 3500# class with one set of wheel weights and you on the tractor if I remember right. This isn't overloading it in any way. You may need to have some weight on the front end too. On your last pull you want all the tractor weight balanced on the rear axle with the front wheels just skimming the ground, this gives you maximum traction. With a stock drawbar and a maximum height of 20" (common max. height arund here, RI, CT) you won't be troubled with wheelies if you balance the tractor and are carefull. Be ready for a wheelie though, they happen fast when they happen. Again, the longer chain minimizes wheelies.
A super C is a good puller, they can give my AC WD a good fight, and I have been beaten by them a few times.
Most of the time wide tires are not an advantage, the stock size works best most of the time. And some of us around here think the new 23 degree lug angle doesn't work as well as the old style 45 degree angle.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
