JD 40

What is the working weight that the JD 40 three point hitch can safely lift?

No idea of the capacity but you can't hurt it with any amount of weight. Too much and it will just lift the front of the tractor up. That's what you have to worry about.

Depends . How far behind the lift pins ? Lifting how high ? Which chassis ? Any ballast on the tractor ? Driving down the road or putting across the yard
In 1st gear ?

I use a 6ft #80 blade for grading/snow with my 40T. It is about 400 lbs. The carryall I use has 1000lb capacity and has not brought the front up when loaded down. I do have a wide front on mine so the weight up front is heavier. I would not advise a round bale or anything over 1k. My uncle has a 40S and it would not take that type of lifting. You need a bigger tractor if doing heavier work.
