On pavement with snow, you won't notice any problem. The front wheels can overslip a little bit on the more slippery surface.

As was said above, that the front axles on 4 wheel drive tractors are designed to turn faster than the rears. I have driven my small 770 and even full size field tractors and they all seem to make more noise on high traction areas with the 4 wheel drive turned on. If you are really concerned I would talk to your John Deere mechanic. If there is something wrong its better to get it fixed now than to have other parts break later.
