[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 6903945, member: 30002"] You said slope. Did you mean slope or hill? It’s not too difficult nor is it impossible. Some boards such as FISKARS had a tendency to drop back in even on the level but most are OK. It might help if you can give it a tad more pitch and lay it into the work. This tends to tip the board over further at the top and put more pressure on. You could try warming and bending the tailpieces and using them to put even more pressure on. Don’t overskim or it will rock on the skimmings. If you want to plough it turning it uphill you might be best to plough it one way and run empty back as your plough settings will be significantly different for uphill / downhill work when crossing a slope. good luck trying.
