There is nothing weak about the tractor or the creeper. What the creeper does is slow the tractor down in order to hold back the tiller when tilling up the plowed ground. I would not try to use the tiller on hard ground that has not been plowed. The tiller needs to work the dirt down to where it is in really small clumps and the tiller can at times propel the tractor forward if it gets too good of a hold on a root or rock. Normal 1st gear when tilling is probably going to be too fast, thus the reason for the creeper. Also the slower you go when snowblowing the better the blower works. When turning ground in the spring with the plow you would probably use your normal 2nd gear. You need some momentum when plowing to get smooth full cuts. Hope this helps some.
