Highway Mowing Tractors - 5095M

I saw a whole herd of 5095M tractors mowing today. They must be pretty good, I never see them mowing with anything smaller than a 6xxx.

I just can't get over the slopes I see those guys mowing with those big tractors. I know they turn them over once in awhile, but they must have nerves of steel to to that.

Boy you have that right. I know the limits better than I did when I first got them, but still.

I have right at 800 hours on my 5525 and probably around 500 hours in 4x20s. I still wont do what they do.

Add to that those running a large flail/reel cutter on a boom with the center of gravity constantly changing as does the terrain - it's not the job for me.
