    Center of gravity with FEL

    Does a FEL on a CUT lower the COG if FEL is lowered to near the ground with bucket? Is it better to mow hillsides with FEL and bucket on tractor than with FEL off? Could a bucket wider than the tires of a CUT help prevent a roll over if the bucket is near the ground?

    Bought a used 2305 late fall last year from dealer with 330 hours. Decided to change the HST oil since it's age and status was unknown. I am guessing it had never been changed.
