[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7083260, member: 2119"] Bear in mind that the front axle of most tractors does nothing to stop you tipping over sideways. As said if in any doubt don’t do it. When it happens it happens very quickly and can lead to years of regret for all concerned. When my machine ran out of control down a hill the first thing I thought of was my family and what an idiot I had been to take such a stupid risk and possibly lose everything. It really isn’t worth entering a situation where you cannot be sure of a safe exit. I won’t spray or harvest on steep slopes now. It’s not worth the risk and in my view it’s wrong to expect others e. g. contractors to take a risk you wouldn’t take yourself. Many times the farmer would say “ it’ll be reet” but it was borderline and I got away with it. No more of that thanks. Same with crossing dodgy bridges and culverts. Buy your own combine and drive it over if you think it’s safe. [/QUOTE]
