Um, Moab comes to mind. Where you want all the speed you can get, but it is so steep that 2nd low won't cut it, even with suffix b gears in a later box. Now, I have a Toro, but aside from minor differences, it is almost identical to a Fairey. In fact, I'm sure that the parts from either could be assembled in the other case . I haven't had any problems with mine other than worn teeth, like the Fairey gets, and a piece broke off the synchro, which has lasted years and years since I re-welded it. I think it was a design flaw and would bind, so I changed it a little. I have broken hardened 24 spline axles, stripped teeth off my ring gear, yet my OD survives. This is all after I fixed it btw. The only reason I could see to not use the Fairey in low is that the splines are much smaller and wear fast enough as it is, but it can be done. BUT, if you don't need to, then I'm sure it is better in the long run.
