Rick that is all I was trying to "help" you do. Maybe your axle is rated to where it is fine. I just know the ratings on the JD compacts surprised me when I actually looked them up. They were not as high as the more traditional "farm" tractors of much the same size. There is not as much "safety" margin built into them. This is to keep cost down to were they can compete in the market place. Most of the compact market is to fellow that never used them like a farmer or woodsman do. If you look at a 50 HP utility tractor an compare it to a 50 HP compact tractor the rated capacity of the front axle and loader will be way less on the compact.
I keep thinking about a city raised neighbor that saw me pushing out small trees with my JD 6400 loader tractor. First of all the ground was wet and the trees where more grubs than serious trees. The JD 6400 is an 85 PTO HP tractor that weights in at over 10K. SO the neighbor fellow went out and bought a 35-40 GROSS engine HP compact. He literally destroyed the front end and loader trying to push out trees like he had seen me doing. Wrong machine for the job at hand.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
