I put my box blade on when I use the loader. Also run in 4wd when using the Fel it is more stable. The filled tires will also give you better traction. The power to weight ratio on these tractors is very high so the more weight low to the ground the better. When bush hogging a new place slow is the best policy. Many bad things can hide under a little grass or brush. The tractors will go very slow so if you drop a wheel into a stump hole or climb onto a a rock you can stop before something really bad happens. OH YEAH you must use a overrunning clutch with the bush hog. The spinning cutter will act like a giant flywheel and will push the tractor even with the clutch in and brakes on. With the 10 and 20 series you can get the powershift into neutral to stop it but it tales a clear head and quick hands. I climbed a tree with our old AC model b. Lucky the only damage was dirty shorts. Others can tell you what happens when hidden objects are struck with a bush hog be sure that any onlookers are far away. Remember all that stuff is dangerous but with care you can ger an amazing amount or work done and enjoy it. I love operating my YM2020d and have completed enough work to pay for it in only 3 years.
