D's were short for sure, but there's a lot of "ballast" in a small area in those old boys. I've noticed at tractor pulls, most D's do get their front end up pretty early, I'll admit.
If you can find a cutaway or cross-section picture of an old D, you'll see they angled the drawbar down some to make the line of draft kinda straight from the center of pull in the plow to the center of the rear axle.
I never drove one much except pulling a 10 foot McCormick Deering Grain Binder, there I noticed they can give you quite a thrill crossing dead furrows and other undulations with the seat so far behind the rear axle and that short wheelbase.
