Then shift back to high when the current draw falls below a certain value for a certain length of time. Then have a manual override of some sort. Pretty much, the system only shifts to low to push.

I tried to do that this year. More to enhance our pushing power (ie prevent spinning out) than to shift gears but that was the next step. Never had time to collect data and get it working, though.
