I'm with Islandtractor. I'm basically doing everything on a hillside, but some areas are meant for a 2 wheel walk behind gravely. I find over 10 degrees side slope is enough to keep me very focused on life. Over 15 side feels very very bad.

I back up hills for obvious reasons - surprised some of you drive up them front first. Even with the loader on that sounds iffy.

And for Tony, way back, doesn't look like he has a ROPS. No way I'd go on a hill on a tractor without a ROPs. In fact, no way I'd get on a tractor without a ROPS - I know of far too many people killed by rotating the tractor onto them
