Think of it like pulling a very heavy trailer up a very steep hill with your pickup. With an automatic, you better be putting on some serious fluid coolers and have some sort of trans kit that locks things up inside to reduce or eliminate slip.
With a manual trans you simply pull till you overheat the engine. Or........get tired of pulling a horse trailer and just unhook it somewhere.:-)

The hydro will pull your plow, but not very efficiently, nor for very long and the fluid will overheat. Once the fluid gets just so hot for just so long, it will break down and loose its ability to properly lubricate the components. Then..........failure is likely.:-(
