I have pastures which I would like to mow. About 2 acres of the pastures are on steep hills - 25-30 degree pitch. I plan on mowing while reversing up the hill, and mowing while going forward down the hill using a brush cutter. I was told by a dealer that I should not mow while reversing up the hill. Something about the cutter could get "pinched", or it could end up "driving the tractor", throwing it off balance, and possibly causing it to go sideways. making the tractor unbalanced, perhaps enough to cause it to roll. He also mentioned that when in reverse the PTO and cutter are also rotating in the opposite direction? Hence, the sharp part of the cutter is not being utilized, rather the cutter is just beating the brush with the non-sharpened part of the blade?
This is new to me - I am looking at purchasing a late model or new Kubota, Deere or NH.
