Use Correct Gear for Plowing

What happens here
It is crucial to travel in the correct gear when plowing. For most heavy snow plowing operations with a skid loader, always use first gear (turtle mode). This provides maximum power and control, reducing the impact if you hit an obstruction. Traveling in second gear (rabbit mode), especially when hitting an object, can cause severe damage to the equipment, potentially knocking the entire door off the front of the skid loader. For a plow truck, utilize 4-high for most plowing, and only use 4-low in extreme situations to maximize torque and prevent wear on the transmission.
Goal: Select the appropriate gear (first gear for skid loaders, 4-high for plow trucks) to ensure control and minimize equipment damage.
