45 degrees is steep

You want to work steep work on a pipeline...... Shoulder harness to keep you in the seat of an excavator hooked to a cable winch on a dozer , I saw them let a dozer down the hill on a cable where the operator was standing on the back of the fuel tank and had to wait till it quit spinning to get the tracks down and he got in the seat and he was pulled up and down the hill to grade it off. 1to1 is childs play..... jim

Sometime you gotta do what you gotta do if you want the job done. That is why they get paid the big bucks. It is nice knowing the PT has side hill capabilities superior to most if not all farm tractors even if you don't need them.
