Guys,
I have been asked to mow off several hillsides using an existing John Deere 955, 4 wheel drive, equipped with a 72" cut John Deere brush Hog. This is fifteen year old equipment.
The topography is 40 plus degree slopes having sink holes and many large trees. The only method of doing this I can see is to back down the slope, 200 yards, then crawl back up. It has semi-Ag tires in that they are not the normal sharp V design but much more aggressive than a turf tire. The estate manager told me the tractor has been rolled more than once. It will be scary, but I have done worse. They have someone mow this off twice a year.
Any thoughts any of you may have will be appreciated. I brush hog mostly flat properties, but never anything like this. Pay is about 3 K.
Best regards,
The Old Guy
