Congrats on the new machine, I think you'll be fine with plowing with the new machine and might even be good for it under the right conditions as long as you stay mindful it being new. I bought mine and had to put it to work a little earlier then I planned hauling/dragging trees that put a good load on the machine. My dealer here said as long as it's not long hi-rev sessions and and not a lots of quick snappy throttles it actually a good break-in. They said Most people (including myself) take it too easy on the machines at first and if there are any kinks to be found they pop up once people start riding normal. "Normal/break-in " would be what your intending to use the machine for but under monitored lighter thumbed intervals. I say now and have been reassured that break-in is should not be babying the unit but respecting it for the honeymoon period to make sure it's solid. Go Plow some snow, I'm planning on being geared up for that on my my unit as well. Let us know how your setup works.
