OK, down to 12-13 psi in the rears it's going to be! And I'll try to post the latest pics from my smartphone that has a not-so-smart-owner!

Thanks![/QUOTE]That is why I keep a digital camera around. It is easy to download them to my hard drive then upload to TBN thread when replying. The only reason I got a IPhone was because it was free. I just use it to talk on and check my email when out of town.

Why not get the TBN for your phone? You don't have to transfer them to the computer and then upload them. Just attach them directly from the phone to your post.

It turns out it's just as easy to use the phone to download to my PC as it is for the camera, hook it up to the same UBS port even!

Here's the latest pics. This is after going to 18 psi in the rears but before taking it down to 12-13 psi:

Dang, that's a pretty good idea! Hitting up the Google Play store as we "speak"!

Thanks!!!!

Around here the ski resorts mow the steep slopes going down hill only and they mow up the less steep slopes.

Do they back down them? Those are directional treads. Traction is better when the force on the tread is forward.

I have the same tractor as you and basically the same terrain. I keep it in low and I usually don't have an issue.

Can you get some goats or cows?

That's what I'm doing. BHing some of the dense undergrowth while leaving some cover in between. Wildlife is the primary purpose of this farm.



Sheep/goats/cows are counterproductive in two ways: I've see what they do to land; more important: what they don't do. Which is keep the land cleared. Hence, I'd have to BH while dealing with both livestock and fences plus the steep hills. No thanks,

Second, I really don't want to see a bunch of fences on my property. I paid a pretty good bit of money for this view - the last thing I want to see is barbed wire etc. No offense.

What do you mean by "low"? There is no low on my tractor.
