    How to get more Power

    I remember when I first got on the rig before I bought it... put the transmission in Low and the rear end in Low... and stuck it in 1st gear... popped the clutch...and felt virtually nothing.... I kind of looked around and had tough time determining if I was moving or creeping due to gravity...
