Low Gear vs. High Gear
All depends on what size tires you are running. If stock I would use high at all accept Heavy mud, Pulling someone out, and Pulling or hauling a load. With bigger tires you will need to use low more often.

Low Gear vs. High Gear
Personally, I use low gear for deep sticky mud and pulling others out. Other than that if I am just mosing around on the trails I am in high gear. To me it just sounds like the motor is trying harder when its in low... ?? Just my thoughts.

Low Gear vs. High Gear
Light mud:high
Heavy mud:low
Pulling someone out of the mud:low or high depending
Wheelies:both
Pulling:low
Just cruising along at 10mph:high
Just cruising along at 20mph:high
Sharp curves, decreased w/rapid increases in acceleration:high
Thats in my opinion

Low Gear vs. High Gear
I never really use low, just once to make sure it worked. im running stock tires and wheels but i seem to have plenty of power and torque in high.

Low Gear vs. High Gear
I use low only for pulling someone out of mud and pulling my trailer. I've found that I have more luck in deep mud with high gear.

Low Gear vs. High Gear
I agree with pretty much all of the above; I use low seldom.
But I ALWAYS use low when loading onto the trailer or truck. 4X4, too.
