not balls out gung ho, but fast is the answer, easing if you feel some wheel spin, slippy grass is perilous going slow will leave you in danger of finding an extra slippy place and loosing all motion At work

I agree with chicken george, more power going up an incline less required on level ground..

Israel 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Zermatt Silver

I agree with cg, in the freelander speed is your friend, hit the hill as fast as you can! In a car with a low range, slow and steady.

I have tried this many times in the freelander slow does not get you up there

when I describe it as furious I mean a fast as sensible. drive over fast and the only furious person will be the farmer or land owner whose grass you are wrecking. going slow and using the traction control will fail as tyres are hopeless on slippy grass so there is no traction to control At work

If you have low range, a slippery steep incline will defeat you unless you hit it at the same speed as without...this situation is nothing to do with low range Thumbs Up Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
