Hey Newbie here HOWDY !!!

[BroBro]

I have a new JD 3203 Compact 32 HP 4WD With FEL weight of Tractor with empty tire's without FEL is 2700 lb's. ( Now 4000 lb's)
JD has ROPP'S and Seat Belt Hydro. Transmission with Power Steering and Brake's
Just sold my MF 245 2 WD no FEL.
Just wondering Which is Safer Brush Hogging with FEL on Tractor or with FEL off.
I live in West Virginia Own 174 acres lot's of mowing with lot's of pertty steep hill's.
All 4 wheel's are loaded and stretched out to the Max.
Also I have added 6 inch spacer's on the rear wheels makeing the rear wheel's measure from outside to outside 68 inche"s.
Stock measurement for rear wheel's is 56 inche's.
The reason I purchased the JD 4 WD with FEL is to mow steeper hill's thus the reason for wideing the front and rear wheel's.
I am useing a New 5 foot King Cutter Brush Hog.
Any advice or warning's from experienced hillside farmer's would be apperciated .
Mowed for years with the old MF 245 but there was alot of place's I could not go.
Long post I know but need ADVICE !!!!
THANK'S !!!

Welcome aboard. Since you stated that you have plenty of steep hills, in my opinion, I would leave the FEL on and use 4-WD. Perhaps if you review the Safety and Attachments forums here on TBN, you may find more answers and insight. :tractor:
