There was a lot of cattle grazing but I don’t know what there rules and laws are. We also walked on trails that cattle were on to. On the top of one mountain we went to there were these big adult sized three wheelers and then they switched to stand on bikes to ride down rest of the way. My son hit a cow patty on the trike first thing. It sounded funny when my daughter described it.
A picture of the trails but the cattle must be hiding.

From what I understand they use a lot of small articulating tractors over there. Most of them are made in Italy. Google: Pasquali, Goldini, or Ferrari tractors. Low center of gravity with a center pivot articulation steering. Generally same size tires front and rear. Much better on side slopes. I actually have an older Pasquali here in the states. Great very cool little tractor, nearly impossible to get parts for though…

By happenstance attended several tractors meet ups in Austria and grandpa’s old tractor is often treated as a family heirloom passed down through the generations.

Not unusual for hundreds to gather and the 4H is a big deal for farm kids…

The single cylinder diesels from the 30’s and 40’s will probably live forever…

I saw a smaller backhoe on a steep slope. It had these really long stabilizers that must have been extendable to about 30 feet. They were extended down hill and kept it on the hill side and leveled it.
That was a Menze excavator. They are built for extreme duties like securing rock faces.

You might be correct. It looked similar to this but was open station. It might have been an older version.
