Hi �
I�m going along with a friend Monday to look at a Super C he may be interested in buying. I have a couple of IH Utilities, but I don�t know anything about Super C�s and I think my friend may be looking to me for some advice.
I think the most important thing is to find out what he wants the tractor to do for him. He owns three or four acres, mostly wooded. I won�t see him again until Monday; I�ll try to nail down his requirements then.
In the meantime -- From pictures I�ve seen, the tractor in question is narrow-front with a nice older (maybe 10 years ago) paint job. The rear tires look new, or almost new. There is no 3-pt hitch and no fast hitch; only a single swinging drawbar. There appear to be no hydraulics. There is a PTO, but my guess would be it isn�t �live.�
So�My thinking is that it would be fine for dragging logs around, pulling a wagon, and maybe pushing snow with a front blade. As for doing much more that that, he may be better off with a wide-front with hydraulics, a 3-point hitch, and a live PTO. As things stand right now, I�m probably going to suggest that he pass up this one.
Questions:
1 � Was the Super C even available with a factory live PTO?
2 � What common/typical problems should we watch out for?
