Won’t hurt a thing! Aside from the risk of accidentally bumping the throttle and overspeeding of your PTO driven implement, running a diesel engine at those RPM’s for extended periods is fine. Rather it’ll save a bunch on fuel. Also it prolongs engine life. And makes for quieter working conditions for the driver.

Note that tractor operator manuals for current production Deere tractors (and probably mfr's too...) recommend to “gear up and throttle down” as load conditions permit, for the same reasons above.
