I am looking at a JD 2240 tractor and want to put a small square bale grapple on it to pick up the bales with the loader. How much weight can a tractor with a bale grapple be expected to handle?.. The bales are 80 lbs each two rows of 4 bales, 4 close to the loader and the other 4 in front, long ways, so load is 72 inch x 72 give or take and 650 lbs plus loader weight and grapple.

Maybe someone else will have the loader specs. But if only a load of 650 lbs. I am pretty sure it will be a light load for that machine as people use them to load round bales all the time.
 
I would not use a 2240 for that. Your load will be WAY out in front of the tractor creating a lot of leverage. If you notice most people who use a system like you describe use a 70 to 80 horse tractor.
