Default Snow Plowing

I currently have a Arctic Cat 650H1 that I just installed a plow on. I am using 27" ITP Mudlite tires. I have primarily used my bike for trail riding and the occasional mud pit that jumps in front of me. Would I be better off plowing in 4H or 4L. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

LOL... my son plows with his Cat at around 20 MPH. I keep telling him to use low range... he laughs at me when he's flying by.

If the snow is dry and powdery I use High range so it shoots off the plow easier. Otherwise I use low. I would say 20mph is a bit fast but a good 5+ usually works for me. Unless it is heavy wet snow. I plow mostly with a manual tranny but when I put the plow on the TRV I always use low to save the belt just in case.
