M35A2 Pulling Power?

Hi All...

I'm looking at the antique tractor pulls on the RFDTV channel right
now, and a tractor just pulled a sled that had increased to 204% of
the tractor's own weight. Most tractors pulled 140% to 180% of their
own weight.

A deuce pulling 204% of its own weight would be 26,520 lbs!

Has anyone on this list ever tried pulling one of those competition
pulling sleds with a deuce? If so, how much weight did it pull?

Thanks!
