[QUOTE="Grassman, post: 7082892, member: 88"] 50 years ago there was some very steep ground operated on by very experienced drivers on 2wd tractors. Some fields in Wales i wouldnt even consider driving on! An 8ft topper is certainly going to help prevent tipping sideways. However it could still tip over backwards if it doesn't have a fixed headstock. Some with just a chain top link will offer no protection. If your field has a nice flattish bit top and bottom will help. Just reverse up as far as you feel confident and come straight back down. Go a bit further up as you progress. Don't try it in the rain on a hard surface as it will slide like a sledge. If you not confident just employ a suitable contractor for a start and see how he copes. [/QUOTE]
