It called "Clod Stall", most Clod based rigs suffer from it.

Are you running the same pinions front and rear? I've found using a higher toothed pinion in front helps a little, 10t in front and 9t in the rear. Also adding weight to my front wheels helped some too.

Iv got alot of weight on the front, most of everything is mounted towards the front. Thanks for that guys, i thought it wasn't a common problem ;)

Hmm I always think of high gear as high gear reduction ratio...definitions! ...although when I do say gear up I mean to increase the speed lol. Definitions! I guess if you just think about it in terms of fractions then yeah my way is inconsistent and backwaards lol.
