I live on a hill and I need to move lots of dirt /rock to river bank?
How does the bx25 work on hills?
Thanks stevee
The safety guideline and recommended rule is anything above 15 degrees you back up and drive down no matter the circumstance.
You should invest in a tilt meter as it is a wise investment for your safety.
Having the rear tires loaded with windshield washer fluid or rim guard is a must as calcium will rust the rims if the tube develops a hole in it.
The issue is traction and more traction as you only have so much tire tread touching the ground and only so much lug tread touching the ground at any time.
The minute it get wet its a case of zero traction and zero control if you start sliding loaded or unloaded.
It may be better for you to contact the Mattracks folks to invest in a set of
tracks for your tractor as you intend to move this material from the elevation to the river bank if this is something you seriously intend to pursue or enquire how much it would cost to rent a tracked loader for a day to accomplish the same task.
A set of "Mattracks" will provide you with more traction but as they are a smooth track it wil affect traction and perhaps a set of Bridgestone Polar tracks for the Mattracks may be in order.
The other thing to keeep in mind at all times is they will slide on a slope as the smaller cleats will act like sled runners.
The easier method would be to build a road to reduce the incline by making several switch back turns which in turn will provide you with a lower incline or decline and the tractor speed will be very slow in either direction.
You will have a longer path but a safer traverse of the slope to transport material.
