WFO is how I run mine.

With time you'll understand better how things work. Higher RPMs will make things move faster, but not necessarily increase capacity or lifting ability. With an FEL, the bucket may raise, curl or dump faster but you won't be able to lift a heavier load.
I see it most with the backhoe. When I swing the bucket side to side at higher RPMs it tends to slam (move too fast). At lower RPMs, it's much easier to control movement.
Your tractor is fine. You did not damage it.
The purpose of the 50 hours is to get everything to seat properly and flush out any residue from manufacturing. I would continue to follow the manual's directions though.
