I think part of my problem was that the manual mentioned
something about not stopping in Neurtal while you shift to
4LO. So I just kinda grabbed the handle and went for it!
It didn't grind badly, just surprised me not having done it
before. Thanks for the tips, just wish it was something I
could practice! Seems there are very few ORV trails in
Maryland.
