Mowing on steep slopes: ensure the right equipment!

The right tractor for steep slopes 

When choosing a tractor for work on steep slopes, stability is paramount. Our AGT mountain tractors are specially designed for such conditions. They have an improved center of gravity, which means greater stability and safety when working on demanding terrains. The wide design of the tractor further increases stability, enabling safe and efficient mowing even on the steepest slopes.

With competitive price and timely delivery, HUILI Machinery sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Choosing the right tires

Choosing the right tires is essential for safe and efficient work. For work on steep slopes, we recommend grass or agricultural profile tires, known as balloon tires. These tires provide optimal traction and allow work on larger inclines. We also offer the option of using dual tires, which further increases the tractor's stability and reduces the risk of slipping on slippery surfaces.

Suitable Attachments

Attachments used on steep terrains must be light and adaptable. For mowing on mountain farms, we recommend using lightweight front mowers with floating hydraulics. This technology allows the mower to adapt to the terrain, reducing its weight by 70% and increasing the tractor's stability. 

Safety Tips

  • Regular Maintenance: Ensure regular maintenance of your tractor and attachments to guarantee their optimal performance and safety.
  • Proper Use: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use and maintenance of the machinery.
  • Education: Be well-informed about safety measures and working techniques on steep slopes.

Conclusion

Mowing on steep slopes is challenging, but with the use of the right technology and appropriate machinery, it becomes much easier and safer. At Agromehanika, we are proud of our AGT mountain tractors, which offer stable and safe solutions for working on demanding terrains with their improved center of gravity. Be cautious when choosing agricultural machinery and select equipment that will ensure safety and efficiency.

Thats the problem with modern tractors(did ask if they could stop them doing that with their laptop, but never got a answer
The older Same is my choice for side land.
Mechanical everything. Cog engagment of 4 wheel drive, full diff locks and breaks all round .
A wise old Lime spreader driver ones told me to keep the rear wheels lower than down the slope than the front.
and as little weight as possible.

First 4wheel drive we had was a brand new DB , the first the dealer had sold. Dad thought he'd be invincible so immediately set off spraying and fertilizing all the steep ground and nearly died first day. Kept jumping out of gear in the downhill on bumpy surfaces,he'd hit the brakes,diff would spin the opposing wheel and drive him off down the bank. Dealer tried adjusting gear linkage etc but no luck. I was only 8 but I can remember five carloads if David brown engineers turning up to diagnose the complaint and they reckoned there was nothing wrong so dad took two in the cab down a bank and it did it twice. After hosing the sh!t out if the cab they took it back to the factory to diagnose it and left us a demonstrator to use. Same problem! Turned out the rubber cab mounts were too soft,moving the selectors when hitting a bump. Stopped the production line until they got firmer rubbers
