Default Re: Help selecting a tractor for steep brush clearing.

Does the tractor you want to buy have R-1 AG tires on it? I'd make sure it hase them so you don't go into an uncontrolled slide even if you're going up & down the slope, forget sideways. Once she starts sliding, it gets ugly.

I'd also suggest a hydrostatic tranny for really good control.

Common sense would say don't even cut when the ground is damp.
