Tractor and Slopes

[DrRod]

What bothers me is the surprise factor in the field. I can be comfortably traversing a slope and then roll over a ground hog hole, some other hoe, or a low stump and that changes a decent angle to a scary angle. So I don't push the limits because there all always some unknowns out there.

Yet, my neighbors mow fields that seem impossibly steep and seem to have no hesitation. They are a good bit more rough and ready than I am but I still wonder how they do it.

Would wheel weights (50 lbs) do any good, or do I just need to hang my loaded carryall off the back?

That all depends on the problem to be solved. For straight up and down your hill and to take weight off the front, the loaded carryall is best. However to cross the hill, wheel weights would be helpful as well, not to mention loaded tires and spacers.
