I spent many years using a JD 4640 and a 15 ft batwing mowing some of the worst, steep roadsides in the county. It had axle mount dual hubs. I always took the duals off as I liked the cleaner look. Ten front suitecase weights up front too. The dual hubs came in handy one day when I got in a slushy part of a ditch bottom and it sent me to one side. Hit the diff lock and rode the side of the ditch out until it got better and went back to all 4s. I remember nearly having to change my shorts that day, but that was truly the worst "close call" I had. I really liked using the larger tractor for vantage point to see, the weight, cab for safety and I wasn't the target for all the gravel the road commissioner scraped off the road into the ditch during the winter, plus the power in the event I had to get out of trouble. Seat belt and flashers were on before I left the yard. At times I wish I had a 5 point harness instead of a lap belt. Thank you Lord for technology, but thank you Lord for a father who loved me enough to teach me how to use it correctly.

Flax provided the fibre which w
