    Hey Danny.
    Ordinarily, a Slimline axle (45mm sq., Falcon bearings) is rated to 1400Kg with passenger car wheels and tyres, However, the extra unsprung weight of an Off-Road wheel and tyre will drop its rated capacity to 1300Kg. Similarly, a 50mm sq. Parallel axle is rated to 1600Kg on passenger car tyres, and 1500Kg Off-Road. The Parallel axle will jump a fair price as it runs a special brake drum, and for your application (750Kg), probably not required.
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!
