[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8112235, member: 718"] Much as I like Same they do not have a lower centre of gravity than any other. They are conventionally designed with the engine crank in line with the high mounted internal PTO shaft to the rear with the straight-running 4wd shaft running under the sump direct into the front diff through the centre of its swivel. This is no different to most other brands. For a significantly lower centre of gravity you need to look at tractors with low mounted engines and transmissions, exemplified by tractors such as the [dreadful] MF 500 series, or the much better 300 series which had a side mounted front drive shaft to maintain a reasonable ground clearance. My personal choice of tractors for slopes comes down to larger tractors. My Same Titan 160 and MF7490 vario. These canter up and down my slopes with my feet up on the windscreen frame either side of the dash going down. In more dodgy ground conditions I may reverse down. [/QUOTE]
