Also while raking with 200 I noticed the warning sticker down by gear shift. Warning do not coast with transmission in gear. While writing this I realized I didn't remember the exact wording lol, sorry. I was just wondering what the reason is for the sticker
Hope this doesn't come across as a dumb question lol

I think they meant dont leave it in top gear and kick the PD in neutral when coasting? gotta float it out of gear for that stuff. :)

I heard of a 50 mph 3020 JD, steep canyon in Idaho, same route many times, kept trying for more speed, and before he knew it, he was throwing it in neutral at the very top!
