more load = more heat produced as a product of friction in the engine all the stress from extra load goes to the piston, bearings ect..
i have seized a dirtbike engine by riding it too hard with someone on back.
the crank bearings seized due to the heavy pressures. the piston was fine though.
so my advice is if the engine seems to have a hard time pulling it may be wise to not bother with that. if it seems to handle it and not load up then i would assume it will be ok.
one way to ensure you do not overload it would be to have 2 sprockets one for pulling and one for speed and switch them accordingly
