The property I recently purchased has some hills and I'm amazed when I look at them and see that somehow the previous owner mowed them. I may plant trees on steeper parts or hire out an annual cutting to a professional but I'm wondering how steep I should be able to go with a TC33D, 6' rotary cutter and FEL or front weights. I saw a post that said 15 degrees is a good limit. Is this a limit for going sideways on the hill or up and down? The tilt meter mountings look more concerned with roll than pitch. Also the way the fence line runs there is no way to turn the tractor around at the top of some hills. Is it safe to back the tractor up then come down nose first or go up nose first then back down to avoid going sideways? According to the topo map the worst hill is 30 degrees that the previous owner mowed! Most of the property is 5 to 20 degrees according to the map. Also I'm interested in any good threads for safely mowing hills.
