23 degree slope...bx 1800 vs b7510

Dongerosa · Mar 13, 2008

I have a 23 degree slope that my BX 1800 Kubota climbed up without any problem. My question is, I just purchased a b7510, I think this has a higher center of gravity, will this incline present a problem?

I had a CK20 which is about the same size/height as a B7510. No way would I travel across a 23 degree slope with that tractor. My sphincter alarm was on a hair trigger once I got past 18 degrees. Going up or down such a slope would not be an issue though.

This would be up and down!

I climb 33 degrees on my BX1500 with MMM on and mow across 28 carefully. i think its a bit more stable with the low weight of the MMM. The climb is very near the traction limit. Have to use diff lock sometimes. I dont think 23 climb will present a problem with any tractor.

MY BX 1500s feel more stable on slopes than my BX 23 .
