I was told it is a bad idea...hold my beer!

Sure, composite is rated to bond on up to a 45 degree 12/12 without special treatment and I have owned a 12/12 house with composite that had 18 years on it when I sold it without issue. And I am in a low wind area. We might get 30 or maybe 40 mph tops.

I think that you missed his play on words. While you are talking about angle, he was referring to temperature.

Ahhhh, got it now... :duh:

There is a minimum and maximum pitch for composition I guess I was fixated on, I forget what they are.

I keep thinking stairs would be a good idea.

You cant tractor up stairs very well though....

I'm happy with the progress I'm making lately. I've even mounted an action cam to the rops and will post some YouTube videos of my trails soon. I may have to place it on a hinge so that the angle can be seen.

Side note....I'm very diligent about checking thing's over and notice on my lunch, gear oil appearing to come off the front knuckle seal. I worried about it all day. Came home and pressure washed my tractor down and put it in my shop up on the lift. I wipe everything down well. Then I checked the fluid level and I was in the middle of the half shaft but below my dipstick. I topped it off. I continued wiping off the tractor. I popped the hood and started to clean the filters when I noticed the front axle relief/vent hose had a puddle of gear oil around my battery. I cleaned it up. Monitor without movement, the seals on the knuckles are not leaking. Is it just run over from the vent?....I hope so! Does it matter that my vent hose is kinked? Or is the kink keeping my fluid in while on the slopes??

If your tractor will function on 45 degree slopes stairs would be no problem.

 

[Tiptoo]

New plan...north side, straight up. I used my clinometer app. The average slope is 30-35° for the remaining distance. Small trees in my way. Getting the roots out with zero leverage on the tractor is problematic and hard on tools.

 

[Tiptoo]

Not working. Guess my phone needed calibrated. Here is the average.....my tractor is slipping.

 

[Tiptoo]

But only about 100 ft before it crests to flatter ground. ...

 

[Tiptoo]

And by flatter ground ....I mean...back in the 30s...agh....getting overwhelmed....almost accepting defeat for this route
