Made differently to the sprayers then 7John deere are stable as hell, you'll do well to roll one!

Slopes can be sneaky things and get you when least expected.Don't know where it started but that is less than a 36% slope
Very true and ground conditions change a field completey, things like dry hard ground with dew or fresh rainfall can become deadly like ice virtually.Slopes can be sneaky things and get you when least expected.
Neighbour used to run a Tasker. The last memory I have of it was upside down at the bottom of a hill with a ton of fert scattered round. Tractor nowhere to be seen.Taskers are relatively unstable things running on what is effectively a tripod. No thanks! Not on proper slopes.
Be carefull running in slopes on single wheels. Tyres sidewalls are under immense stress and can easily come off the rim.Put front and rear wheels out as far as practical, especially if going along banks sideways.
Be very, very, very careful turning on banks especially with a 3 point linkage mounted sprayer / fertiliser spreader when loaded, you can flick it over in a second
As said by others slick, greasy grass is particularly dangerous to drive on,on banks.
With 4wd/drivetrain braking, what happens when the tractor slides away and one front wheel starts spinning backwards? I guess this probably doesn't happen anymore since (I assume) most modern tractors are equipped with a working front LSD.Front brakes are available on many brands and unless they have abs are of little if any significance compared to braking through the drivetrain.
To get any sort of choice of secondhand Lindners, Austria or Germany would be the way to go, but if you really are looking for hill tractors they are a step above.Lindner is made for 40° slopes (or 60%). Don't know the pricing or how "old" are available though.
think about using a towed taskers type spreader
You take off like a bottle-rocket.... been there, got the T shirt.With 4wd/drivetrain braking, what happens when the tractor slides away and one front wheel starts spinning backwards?

Almost every time!That's my point. Proper front brakes will save you every time, 4wd braking is rubbish by comparison.
I've always liked that one. I bet a fresh pair of undies were in order.....maybe a seat cover too.This has been shown before
