The lower the gear, the greater the torque multiplication. You will get maximum pulling power from reverse. I presume, however, that you merely wish to go forward rather than to haul someone out of a snow bank. If the snow is deep and the roads are expecially nasty, I recommend a lower gear. Be careful, however, not to over rev your engine. I would not recommend exceeding 20 mph in first. Second should be good up to 40 mph. Above that speed I recommend third, fourth or overdrive. Hope this helps.
