Rick that is all I was trying to "help" you do. Maybe your axle is rated to where it is fine. I just know the ratings on the JD compacts surprised me when I actually looked them up. They were not as high as the more traditional "farm" tractors of much the same size. There is not as much "safety" margin built into them. This is to keep cost down to were they can compete in the market place. Most of the compact market is to fellow that never used them like a farmer or woodsman do. If you look at a 50 HP utility tractor an compare it to a 50 HP compact tractor the rated capacity of the front axle and loader will be way less on the compact.
I keep thinking about a city raised neighbor that saw me pushing out small trees with my JD 6400 loader tractor. First of all the ground was wet and the trees where more grubs than serious trees.

He literally destroyed the front end and loader trying to push out trees like he had seen me doing. Wrong machine for the job at hand.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
