Greetings. The other day I was baling hay on one of my hilly fields like we have here in CNY (anyone from the area probably knows what I mean). This lead me to ask if there is a practical way to determine how much of an incline a tractor can safely handle sideways (as opposed to straight up and down shots). I"ve seen highway crews mow some amazing hillsides and not tip the tractors over, but I also noticed that their rear wheels seemed to be set much further apart than normal. I guess the answer would also depend on the type of tractor. I usually just go by what "feels" comfortable, but it would be nice to know if there is a more exact way to make that call. Thanks in advance to all who respond.
