Nice looking land! With those slopes, think wide & low .... wide & low.
Weight alone isn't the answer - you'll be wanting a low CG to stay on all 4 wheels.
Try to get a machine with tires set wide and get as much weight as you can down low.
Spend some extra time searching and reading threads on ballast and the consequences of not ballasting properly.
For stability, I think you may want loaded R4s.
You'll be trading some traction for stability, but you can get a lot of that traction back with tire chains.
Definitely don't plan on using this machine to cut the lawn.
Thanks for the reply -- can you give me an example of 'wide and low' vs. what I've been looking at?
I think the NH1520 is lower then the Mahindra's but the Mahindra's are heavier.
I plan to use R4's (I think with my terrain they would be best) and filling them. I believe with the loader I may need weight on the rear too??
