Low gearing does have it's uses. That low gear allowed me to get mine home when it lost all gears but 4th in the trany. I put the transfer case into low and was able to get the truck moving again, then clashed gears to switch into high and cruised home on the highway. I want to get it back in operation as it's light and doesn't cause as much field compaction as my full sized 4x4 pickup. My other Toyota pickup is only 2WD and is relatively useless out in my hilly fields. I picked it up for when I need to replace the engine in my 4x4. Even with 223,000 miles it still uses less than 1/8th quart of oil in 3000 miles and part of that 1/8th quart is in the old filter. Yeh, I measure the amount of oil that comes out of my engines. I can see when an engine starts to wear more.
