You know it is steep when the rear wheels are sliding sideways downhill

I agree! I'm a little wild, but not enough to do that.

This is what makes me nervous. It doesn't look like much.

This is a trail in my woods. I can only go up and down.

No, it doesn't look like much. They all feel worse than they are or at least to me. I grew up on a flat land farm and have been operating in our hill farms since 86, but still doubt I will ever be completely comfortable on many of our slopes.

That looks very steep.

I grew up in an area with a lot of butte's and it was not uncommon to see a trashing machine parked on one. When I first seen this post this is what came to mind.

wow. The coffee spilled out of my mug onto the desk we were leaning so much...
I don't like heights, and those kind of gravity-defying mower jobs I'll leave to someone else.
If you make one little mistake on hills like that, you're in serious trouble, just like a
fishing boat coming in a roaring inlet and getting sideways to the waves. Mother Nature
is stronger than us all, and the idea of rolling end over end down that ski slope aka pic number two from the
very top in a tractor, who cares if you're buckled in, that cab is sure not like your car.

Some folk can walk a high wire comfortably and safely. I sure can't.
Have to know your limitations and respect gravity and friction.
Too much pucker is just too much...

Greg, cool woods pics. Do you lock your rear diff when climbing or going down? Drew
