I am located in the Pacific Northwest, we have silt clay soils mostly, some sandy loam. Around here we estimate 25hp/plow, which puts you below the norm. The draft control system on your 2240 should not allow the shaft to break however. Under the seat if you reach down with your right hand you will find a control with the marks L-LD-D, the system is designed to lift the implement when the shaft you have described is bent under a heavy load (L) it will react in part when set at (LD) and its all you in (D). If you are grossly under powered the tractor would slip or not be able to pull these plows. I suspect you had a stressed load control shaft or just a bit of bad luck. When you replace the shaft do yourself a favor and replace the seals as well, you might even consider replacing the bushings if you have the time. I have a 2240 and routinely use implements that weigh in between 700 and 1000lbs so I don't think weight is an issue.
