Re: Low crawl ratio

im no expert. so I asked google.

gear ratios and crawl ratio explained - 4 lo or 4LO also 4WD low range

and this lovely gem:
Crawl ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

your clutch/idle/stall is not specifically related to the crawl ratio. Crawl ratio is about gearing.

Now... "most" people here will agree it is easier to climb / crawl with an automatic transmission.

How ever there are add-ons such as a hand throttle

Hand Throttle

That can make the job "easier" to clutch/brake/acceleration while crawling.

Does this answer your question?
