Tried cutting the back side of the Dam

[WoodChuckDad]

That tractor is great. Mower too. I still think I'm not gonna cut anything that steep. It wouldn't feel "right".

That mower is pretty heavy is right and I bet you are right about the tongue weight too. I did not factor that in.

I had my Brother in law drive it too and he said he thought it would be no issue. Now he has only 50 years of driving tractors and full time farming in Iowa and terraces and mowing ditches. One good thing is that he never heard of Kioti but was very impressed with it.

Was he impressed "for the price" or just generally impressed relative to what he has used?

 

[Tinstafl]

He liked the tractor. He has four of them two smaller but older and tough one 300 hp case and a 60hp hydro unit and he really liked the PX. He never heard of them and after using it a bit and crawling over it and looking at the specs he really liked it.

I was thinking that was the case. You can get a fancier tractor, but apples to apples I think the Kioti 90hp units compare very well for less money too! Win, win. Impossible, but no!

If those tires are loaded I can't see a problem with that slope...with the loader as low as possible. Pictures are deceiving. A pic from the back with you sitting "plumb" in the seat would give a better idea.

The rears are loaded. The loaded was a bit lower but he had to pick it up to get over the hill leading to the dam.

Having nothing on the loader makes a noticeable difference for my tractor, usually when I mow I don't carry anything up front. On the other hand, a couple times moving dirt I've got myself onto a side slope were I just put the loader down and used the bucket as an outrigger/sled to slide to more level ground.
