When the front wheels come off the ground, it's too much.

That is about as intelligent of answer that can be given with the information provided. The 3-point manufacturer (doubtful) doesn't provide any weight lift ability and the poster doesn't give any info on front weights or front tire fluid added (or not). There is no answer other than what I gave.  EDIT:  Nebraska Test listed the front wheel weight at 710 pounds. So if you had 710 pounds hanging on the 3 point hitch positioned the same distance to the rear of the rear axle as the front wheels are forward from the rear axle, that would be the balance point.

The problem with almost all of the 3pt conversions is: the implement connection places the implement much further rearward than what a comparable PinHitch or SnapCoupler implement would, thus reducing the lift capacity. 
  With proper front weight on my wide front CA I can move 1000 pounds around on pallets with my SnapCoupler CarryAll. A 3pt CarryAll would have less capacity.   When using any 3pt equipment, have your health insurance paid up as pinched fingers and a sprained back are highly likely. 
  The design of the CA hydraulic system when in the "Lift & Hold" setting only uses the Left cylinder to hold implements when in the "Hold" setting, this causes the Left cylinder to explode (I know this for experience) when overloaded.  The Oxnard "Deep Tillage Tools" manual for the CA tells you to Re-route both hydraulic cylinder lines to the same ports of the "Hold Valve" so the both cylinders are used when carrying loads. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
