I have some fruit trees and misc. trees in one area that is a little tight, and I'd prefer not to damage the trees. This area has a hill that I normally go down to mow, but I have to loop around to do this. Because of a few areas like this I decided to get a smaller type tractor for the maneuverability. I've been lucky a few times on an ATV, especially when going up a hill. It's a hard question to answer until I actually get some seat time, I just wonder if the front of the tractor might be considered "light" without the FEL and when using a mower.
I have some hills I mow with my L5030 HSTC and the front end gets a little light without the FEL, but I can do it. Just be sure the mower is down with the weight on the tail wheel. If I need to go up anything steeper, I just back up the hill.
