You will be fine. I use a Farmall 460 with a 8 foot blade, which is maybe 1500 pounds heavier than yours. I plow at high idle to half speed and rarely spinnout and when I do, its solid ice not just packed snow. You have to remember, snow WILL come over the top so you will have to take a couple swipes at it to clean the drive anyway. I drop down all the way and whatever comes over the top does and I get it next pass.
If you push up big piles of snow, you will need full rpms to build up a little speed (if you can call it that in using reverse) but doing that I can make piles as tall is the roof of a small truck and I dont see why you cant do the same given almost as much weight and a slightly narrower blade.
I dont think you will regret getting the wider blade...
