Seems to me you need to do some math.
1. What is the bumper hitch rated for? Gross towing rating + vertical loading rating.
2. YOur tandem axle trailer probably weighs around 2000 lbs empty and a Farmall C probably weighs less than 3000 lbs. So your gross weight is around 5000 lbs.
3. Position the tractor on the trailer to meet the vertical load rating, probably around 300 lbs.
4. I doubt your bumper hitch is rated to pull a 5000 lb load.
5. I would invest $100 in a Class III or Class IV hitch or see if I could find a second hand one.
