JMOR, I use a IH C to pull a 10K dump trailer up a steep hill with about 5K of gravel, total weight is close to 8k. Horse power isn't a problem. Only issue is traction going up a steep grade and bending the drawbar. Can easily pull the dump trailer with over 10k of dirt on level ground in 3 gear at an idle. Can't travel that fast with an old C so brakes aren't an issue. If it were, I would connect the electric brakes. I think the Hp of an IH C is around 20 and I think it weighs around 3500 with the mower. George
