- Currently tractorless...JD 26G being traded for a new tractor.
I graduated from the buying advice forum today. I picked up a JD 4520, MFWD, PowrReverser, 400x loader, and 72" box blade. I'll be clearing brush, moving cut trees, blazing a few trails, pushing/discing a little dirt, and smoothing out some poorly tended pasture. Come spring, I'll be mowing it. This is a 17 acre, mostly ridge top property so it's not completely level. In the transition from ridge top to bottom land, it's steep. My Gator 825i zips up and down without a problem, but it's pretty steep. I don't imagine I'll be transitioning from top to bottom with any regularity, but it needs to happen on occasion. I'm a newbie to a tractor of this size. Any advice on how to keep the shiny side up while working on sloping terrain would be most appreciated. Thanks!
