The gears are designed for low noise and wear in the forward direction, getting on it in reverse is asking for problems.

BIG-DOG-DADDY, turn your CAPS-LOCK off so it's easier to read your posts.

CAPS-LOCK doesn't capitalize the first letter of every word, he's just using shift.

and again why would you go 8mph in reverse? it will always make nois, any car if you fly in reverse will make strange waining noise....

and is yours auto or manual? manuals tend to make more nois than auto...

Yeah it does. Try posting in all caps and see for yourself. The forum software recognizes it and changes all letters except for the first of each word to lower case.

The reason reverse makes a whining noise is because it uses straight cut gears like race cars.

You can't hurt anything by going fast in reverse.

Go into your USER CP its on the blue bar at the top then click edit signature I believe that is on the left. If you need to resize your picture use infranview or something like that.

About the reverse deal though. I along with plenty of other people repetively go a lot faster than 9mph in reverse while plowing snow. (or if I forget something at my house and need to go back )
