1. Drive it in what ever gear gets you the power you need a the speed you want/can go. You can throttle down as long as you don't lug the engine. If you are wide open you can probably be in a higher gear with less throttle. If your engine is lugging, then you need more throttle or a lower gear. Your highest gear is the "road" gear and wide open is the top speed. Also, the slower the engine the better economy you will get, so going in 4th gear at 1/4 throttle will use less gas than 1st gear wide open.
2. Your gear is down hill is related to the load and the safe operating speed. First gear with no throttle will give you the most engine breaking. If you need more then the brakes need to be well adjusted
3. See part 1. If you are lugging the engine at full throttle, you are in too high of a gear going up hill. The actual gear on the hill will again depend on your load and the steepness of the hill.
A few other points: A good engine will have more power and be able to use a higher gear Some trial and error with your particular machine will be needed to figure out the ideal settings A copy of the original owner/operator manual will also give you some data on safe operating ranges.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
