I have 52 hours on my Massey SCUT tractor. I've been *very* careful to avoid side slopes when using it. I bush hog about two acres, and if there is much of an incline I go up/down rather than traverse it sideways. I keep the bucket lowered while turning.
This season, I will have a 50+ hp cab tractor and about 12 acres to bush hog. The 12 acres has more slope. Tires will be loaded with rimguard.
How can you tell how much slope is too much? Obviously if the tractor rolls that was too much. But are there small cues or things to watch for to let you know you are getting close to the limit before finding yourself upside down, or worse?
