Default Silly Question??

I just got done spending some sweet seat time on my 149 plowing snow and while I was doing it I thought of a few questions. I was plowing for about an hour and a half having a great time but I was wondering, is all the constant forward and reverse while plowing bad for the trans? I have read here that they are built very tough but has anyone ever ran into trouble? The Hy-tran and filter are new and fresh. Also, has anyone had trouble with hurting the engine for running them that long? I don't mow with it so I am curious. I ran it at about 3/4 throttle. new oil in the engine also. Thanks, Mark
