My 59 Fordson Power Major with 600lbs of rear wheel weights comes in around 5500lbs.

With a hoe and loader I would say you are probably pushing 10k maybe as a high estimate.

I know a guy who bought a Super with a hoe and big front bucket and he told me it tipped the scales around 12k.

My owners manual is for '53 to late 50's. It reads 5010 lbs without wheel weights.
