Well, I finally tried and cut the back side of the dam.

Very nice tractor and cutter.

We have a dam so similar to that it's unreal. We are now using my L5740HSTC with a 6' cutter, but occasionally our renter does it with his 7000 Series John Deere and Woods 15' bat wing. We use to mow it with our Case CX80 and 10' Woods 121. It still makes me nervous.

I was surprised it did not tip but it did fine. I was nervous but my farmer brother in law was here and he said it would do it so we tried. He cuts worse he said.

I don't have any equipment that big, but I've ran a lot steeper with my smaller equipment. That hill wouldn't even make me nervous except right at the top.

It is pretty steep but the tractor did fine.

Usually things feel fine, until they don't:eek:

I had my Brother in law drive it too and he said he thought it would be no issue. Now he has only 50 years of driving tractors and full time farming in Iowa and terraces and mowing ditches. One good thing is that he never heard of Kioti but was very impressed with it.

I've found that hills never look as steep in a picture as they are in reality.

It is just much steeper then the picture shows but loaded tires spread out as far as they go helps.
