I have been lurking the net for months now, looking for recommendations and advice on tractors and have found this site to be awesome. Thanks to the administrators and folks who work behind the seen providing this service, as well as, those who take the time to answer the questions.
Pucker Factor Rating?
I have been trying to decide on exactly what type of tractor to buy in order to bush hog my property, safely. Being new at this, I am proceeding with caution. I have read many of the threads but still worry about the “pucker” factor. After viewing the attached picture, on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the worst case) how steep would you rate these hills and/or what tractor would you feel the safest in driving up & down this slope? I don’t know the actual slope angle but can say I’ve been stuck twice climbing the closest hill with a 2WD ATV.
I am thinking of going with the Kubota L3430 or the L3830, HST, AG tires weighted and extended. Two local dealers are extremely helpful with one even offering to bring the tractors to the farm to see how well they do on the hills. Some who have seen the farm say these hills are nothing, but to me they seem pretty steep. Guess some seat time will tell.
Thanks in advance,
