Have bought a new Deere 3320 with 60" MMD but still have not taken delivery yet. This machine is to replace a Kubota BX2100. We do a lot of mowing on the farm including some rather steep ditch banks. It would appear that the 3320 will have a higher center of gravity than the 2100. The 2100 had turf tires and they would easily load up and sometime the tractor would slide sideways when running parallel to the ditch bottom and it has on occasion been on its side in the ditch bottom. The 3320 will have R4 industrial tires - so I am hoping it will be less apt to slide sideways on inclines.
Anyone have experience with these two machines willing to speculate which will be more tippy?
Anyone ever heard of half loading the tires to keep the weight down low and hopefully make it more stable on slopes.
Likely should look for other means of mowing these slopes - but it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!
Thanks
