I didn't do the math but 45 PERCENT slope sounds about right, not a 45 degree as mabey some are thinking of... We've got a short dive in one field here that would light the oil pressure light on one of the old tractors. It's probably close to 80% slope at it's worst. The general slope of the hill is something like you're working on. Then we have pastures that run down to the lake that are over 100% slope (45 deg) in some places. They were cleared by hand and with horses I guess... they've never seen a machine. I generally prefer to attack grades like you're working on straight up and down. At least when you slide you have some semblance of control. Sliding sideways is never much fun.
