When you recheck the compression, move the fuel lever to off (forward) and crack open the fuel line nuts on the injector for the cylinder you're testing. This will ensure no fuel is getting injected in the cylinder to throw your readings high as sufficient compression may cause it to burn or vaporize and an associated increase in pressure. The highest compression value I ever got on any of my tractors was around 400 psig. The manual calls out new as 455 psig @ 2800 rpm. Good luck with getting to 2800 rpm and checking the compression!
