plowing question?

This is probably a dumb question but i was not sure and dont want to start wrecking things. I use a dp tuner and i always have it on 80e, is that bad for it or should i turn it back to stock? Its an older meyer 71/2 foot plow so its not real big.

I plow with mine in the highest setting , I was told it raises line pressure in the trans , tightens it up .Some times (like today ) i also need the extra power ...

Would it make sense to plow in a tow setting, considering the amount of weight you can end up pushing?

I don't plow with mine but use my little Kubota and know how quick you can build up a mighty load when you're pushing snow.

I have plowed in most of the positions and never saw any problems with any of them. I like the tow positions bc they don't shift as quick.
