It is not the axle, )which will get the weight in all cases) it is the front overhang. Your design is strong and appears well made. it also appears that, with little effort, it could be moved rearward quite a large amount. Here is why: The front axle is a fulcrum (pivot point) for the support of the blade. When the blade sticks out as far as yours, the weight of the blade (when lifted) is removed from the rear axle and transferred to the front axle. This is like having a heavy kid on an equal length teeter totter. In addition, the farther ahead of the axle the blade is located the easier it is to have the blade slide the steering tires sideways. the last reason is that putting it away requires substantially more room.
