Notice that my statement was an “I” statement.
That does not imply others may not find a use for it.
That you have found uses for creeper speeds is great, thanks for the info others may find helpful.
Coy, my posting wasn't totally directed at you, your post was the closest to string off of for a reply. I could of picked on Winston's post too. LOL
I know there were other uses I had found with the creeper gear. One was when the tractor was on a sheet of ice, couldn't move any direction. It just spun the wheels. I learned that it was way worse the faster the wheels spun. I then had the inkling to drop it as low as it would go, creeper in 3rd high. Immediately, the tractor moved off that ice zone.
Another time was pulling out a huge tree stump. It was dug out, but it wouldn't totally come out. Put the tractor in creeper and my sons got under the stump to hack off the huge tap root. Creeper really brought that sump up so far to give them access. It was in like not going anywhere, but as the tap root was getting sawed/chopped, it gently snapped and pulling it out was EZ. My boys were even rocking the stump. So, for safety, creeper came in real handy.
