Trying to cut a flat trail on a side hill.

Sure glad this ain't a gear tractor.

When I was 18 and working on a farm, the farmer put me in a situation just like that except in a pole barn. That was the day I learned to use independent rear brakes. And it was geared.

Was wondering what difference a geared tractor would be.

Ha, I've been there with a bushhog on my old geared 2040. Took a WHILE to "austin powers" it outta there. If I'd had a loader I might have just dropped it, turned around, picked up the implement and drove it someplace clear.

Geared tractor would just be more of a PIA in that situation, slamming the gear lever back and forth and whatnot.

That poor tree.... might as well cut it down for firewood, I'm sure you tore all the bark off, eh?
