4X4 downhill traction issue

[JWR]

Maybe he meant front versus back ?? I'm not sure why it would matter.

You will not get all the air out with the bleeder on the bottom.

Ok Roger,I swapped sides and the bleeders are on top.The saga of the the sliding tractor is now fixed.The brake system is very smooth and controlled.The last pass I made in the video below is 35 deg and can go fast or slow and stop at will.There's also a pic of a steering stabilizer I added to fix a horrible death wobble inherent to this model.

It looks safer to operate now. 35* is pretty steep.

Looks good, hope this will resolve your problems. Very nice work and resourcefullness.:thumbsup:

Probably means 35%. A 35 degree slope is over 70% and you are not going up or down a 70% slope on any wheeled vehicle.

Click on the picture of him on the mower. It is 35*.

Yep, that's the right chart. If you double click on it, it will come up in a size you can see/read the numbers. The 35 or 40% slopes are quite tractable for wheel vehicles. The 35 degree (over 70%) slopes are not feasible.

Hey JWR,come on over.Another 30ft back it goes up to 40 deg and a lot farther to the bottom.We'll have some real fun then..
