It's a 3' dish and six sector antennas.

Kind of looks like a 30 inch but you are likely right. That is pretty
loaded.

I don't think there's going to be a simple answer to that.
You'll need to know what class of pole it is. I've seen a chart
showing the horizontal force that can be applied to a pole based on
what class it is, and you could use that to make an estimate. I
think the class is based on the circumference at the tip. The
chart assumed the pole was a Douglas Fir, and it gave a range of
values because not every tree is the same. Then you have to wonder
how relevant any of that is if the pole develops a crack or starts
rotting.
How about at least this much:

This pole is actually 80’ above ground. I misstated my question.
I meant what is the wind load capacity of the pole to determine
how many antennas I can put on it.

What is the height of an installed 80' pole?

I'm impressed you can 80' wooden pole in for $5500. Here it was
closer to $10,000. Just the pole itself was a few $k. Transport
from the yard to a worksite was $2500. It's over the length
limit for NYS roads, so we have to have escort vehicles and file
a plan with the DOT. Some pole contractors didn't even want to do
it.

Funny you mention this. I just got off the phone with the power
company about the exact same thing. Around here anything higher
than 65 ft is considered transmission line pole and gets
expensive.
$5,500 for 80 ft.
$2,500 for 65 ft.
$1,000 for 40 ft.
that cost includes the pole and labor to plant it.
Also, you can't set a meter on the pole unless they retain
ownership or you lease the pole as part of the service. The cost
to run lines and/or transformers is on you as well. So plant
your pole close to the existing grid.
