On the board now we have talked about the slopes what it is safe to work our equipment on. I took the time to check out the one big hill that I mow a little of and the road going up the powerline ROW. Here the pictures and what I found walking the slopes using a six foot straight edge and meter...
This first picture is my tractor stopped going down the slope, it is about 23-24 degrees. The max I found on this steep side was still under 25 degrees. My tractor would not back up this slope in 2-wheel drive, it would hit some uneven place and just buck and dig. Four wheel drive was not a problem. It is a scarry slope and I would not want to operate the bushhog except going straight down, not backing up it...
