The creeper gear is used mainly for harvesting vegtables, usually the tractor is pulling either a trailer or has a picking belt attached to it's three point. Workers walk down the rows and pick the produce and place it onto the picking belt to where it is brought up to the trailer where it either falls in or people ride on the back of the trailer and gently place in into the trailer. Typically this happens at less than .5 mph.
Creepers are also used when pulling transplanters or when operating a compost turner that mixes up long rows of compost 5'T X 5'W.
