I wondered what low range and low gear was like.

Given the traction, I think it would climb a wall.

Ride the clutch and you are all set I have used 4LO a couple of times when I had all 4 spinning in 4HI when I have almost gotten it stuck in some mud.

pretty much shift into 3rd or 4th from a dead stop and try starting out in that... its pretty much what 4low is... it kills off your hp & torque to get you going in low traction...

Morning Massachusettians, and various upright guests!!

Quite a busy start to the week here. Guess being off for a few days has its downside as well. Looks like the flyover guys are heading into a deep freeze this week. Strange that it's in the 40's here though.
