Question 4-Lo

Ok, I have a stupid question....I got stuck in a snow bank trying to get around an oil truck making a delivery. I was in 4 hi when I got stuck in close to 2 feet of snow. I put it in neutral and switched to 4 lo hoping my wheels wouldnt spin. Should I have put it in 2nd or 1st gear afterwards? or would normal drive be ok? I never had to use 4 lo so I want to make sure I'm using it for the right situation...

Thanks

There is no set in stone answer. It depends on whether you need to spin your way out, or lug your way out. If you want to lug out try 2nd, spin out, put it in Odrive and mash it. Did you get out? If so, what ever you did must have been ok.

I did get out in 4 lo...rocked it back and forth. Probably could have gotten out in 4 hi though...Thanks for the reply
