I bought the hillside behind my house last year and the guy I bought it from came over to say hello and check out my new Kioti (on a quad runner). He saw I was going up and down and commented that he used to go around in a circle in a two wheel drive older tractor - one that just looking at it would appear to have a higher center of gravity that mine because the wheels are closer together - especially his front wheels. The graphic posted in this thread of a 20 degree slope - that does look pretty tame on paper - but my land is not perfectly graded. It is generally smooth but has little depressions and humps. It is when I got a wheel started down off one of those areas that I felt most at risk of either a slide or a rollover happening. Hog, your post, and others about highway maintenance, is confidence inspiring, but as most have commented safety is all about knowing your land and where a sudden drop off can occur that could tip you over. Thanks for the reply! I will try and upload some pictures of my land today.
