I am looking for feedback on subcompact tractor lateral stability (center of gravity) on hills. I will be getting a tractor with a loader to do normal material handling around the place but I also want to be able to work on converting some old logging skid trails into hiking trails. Because the trails are fairly narrow, I'm opting for a subcompact. I've been looking at 4WD hydro subcompacts in the 18-24 hp range. I like some of the solidly built machines from the 80s-90s (e.g., JD755, JD855, Kubota B8200) but just eye-balling them they look like they may have a slightly higher center of gravity than some of the newer machines (e.g., JD2210, Kubota bx2200. I would appreciate any feedback on their performance/stability on hills or what you think might be the perfect tractor for that application.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
