I'm curious as to what procedure is for crossing ditches is with one of these little mid size tractors like I have now ( an IH 284( 2x4 but rear axle locks manually ) or if this kind of thing is considered completely verboten with something this small?
I used to have an old John Deere A model tricycle front and I learned from the old timers around here about 30 years ago how to safely cross ditches with that thing, but the rear tires on it were WAY bigger and it would walk right through, the rear tires on this thing look like they would cup right in the ditch bottom. It seems like there are VERY limited angles to be able to ride through without getting into trouble.
I've got some brush up against a fence that needs hogged down BAD and I'm at odds on how to get to it . If I could find a sickle bar for cheap enough , Id do it and be able to reach it from teh other side, but every one thinks their old rusted up ones with seized gearboxes are pure gold around here.
Any words of wisdom here? Thanks
