I owned a track loader for a while, and learned a lot, but no where an expert level. And I have been operating tractors all my life. What would concern me is learning on a steep hill. It would be much safer to learn on flat ground; with a dozer you basically only want to drive up or down on a hill, not sideways. Even going up or down one track can hit a rock or tree root, slip, and turn sideways very quickly. You need to have a 'feel' for things, and a hillside is not the best place to learn. You can compound a slip or slid situation if you are not super ready and make a mistake move. Like if someone in a car hits the gas instead of the brake; 'might' be ok on open road, but not in the garage! And if a track comes off on a hill or you get stuck, you almost need another dozer or piece of equipment to get unstuck. Not trying to be a pessimist, just want you to be safe. Good luck, Mark.
