The wider you have the rear wheels spread on the tractor the harder it is to tip over. You will be limited as to how far you can spread the wheels by the mower, but should be able to move the left one out considerably and then if you can keep it on the down hill side will help. I mow township road ditches that were constructed with the old elevator graders (some can be about 4 to 6 feet deep) with mine and have the wheels set about in the middle of the axles or for 38” row spacing. I go in and out at about a 45 degree angle to the slope and never have any problems, but I’m always very careful to be ready to steer back into the ditch if necessary. If you start to tip, steering down the hill will help you to stabilize the tractor. I’m not sure about the one post about weeds being hard on a mower, I’ve got one of the first IH 1100 mowers and don’t have any problems with getting through tall sunflowers, ragweed, hay, small trees, or electric fence posts on occasion! (Oops). For hay I use under-serrated sections, sharpen them often and make sure the ledger plate area of the guard is not round. Good sicle clamps help a lot too!
