Hi Jim:
I have a couple of suggestions. First try reducing your air pressure in your tires. I have a TC29, same size and weight as yours. Currently I am running 12 in the rears and 15 in the front. I run the fronts a little stiffer as I do a lot of loader work. By lowering them you are providing a larger, more flexible footprint, that produces less pounds per square inch over the same area. Second try to make your turns as wide you can. When your running at PTO RPM if you make a tight turn sometimes the inside rear tire gets a little light and has a tendency to just barely spin.
I don't have supersteer on my tractor so I am not familiar with all its functions. Can you you turn the steerable axle off, and just run the conventional steering? If so you might want to run like that while the grass is under this drought stress.
Also you mentioned this as happening on hills. It could be a matter of your soil is not as compacted on the hills. Some soils, especially those that contain a lot of sand never adhere to hills as well as it does on a flat area. And some soils don't develop a good turf root base on hills. Just somethings that might help you.
