Will plowing 10 acres of NEPA soil with a 3 bottom plow hurt the transmission in my Ford 545D with 8x8 shuttle transmission?

It was designed for 100+ acres farms, that tractor should be able to plow every day. Day after day with that 3 bottom load, it could probably pull 4 bottoms easily. Unless abused the tranny is not an issue.
