I'm intrigued with a creeper gear. Read plenty about them. Not sure they would help with the speed issue, but would be handy for loading the tractor on the trailer or easing slowly around some mowing obstacles. I have a Wheelhorse with hi/lo (standard on these tractors) and that's what I use LO range for the most.

Thanks,
Bill
