Most tanks are so heavy I bet that their pulling power would be reduced a whole bunch going up hill. If you figured a way to pull a tillage tool like a big chisel plow I just imagine it would amaze you how poorly it would pull it going up much of a hill. Even the old TD-14 bulldozer I ran a little bit "way back when" doing simple jobs would pull down in the higher speed gears going up steep hills pushing nothing but itself, and high gear couldn't have been over 5-6 miles an hour. I noticed it when burying fence row stones and just "leveling up" after the stones were buried. IIRC the old girl had 6 speeds forward, with a regular "H" pattern on the main lever and a high-low auxillary lever. Even if you just backed up a steep grade, you had to use low reverse. I remember killing it a couple of times forgetting to use low range backing up a steep grade.
