there many tractors out there that will do the job, but the first question i have is how steep and how deep is the ditch? a brush hog may or may not be the best mower for the job, they will do a good job on a moderate slope , but it means being able to keep the tractor stable while mowing it, driving on the bank if its not too steep or going in the bottom of the ditch and backing up the slope and mowing down, the reason this is done this way is the tractor pointed downhill, will loose traction and will not flip over,you can just go back down the hill, if you mow a steep hill headed uphill, the tractor can back flip, the usual result of that is death , roll protection is good, but not a sure thing by any means. if its a shallow steep ditch a side fail mower, with counter weight may be a better choice, the tractor stays up on the road, while you mow the weeds, as others have mentioned, you want live pto and hydraulics, life is much better with those, even though others will do the job with a experienced operator, you have to compensate for not having one or the other or both, and that takes a good operator, thousand series fords, number series ih, masseys, and newer john deeres all work, as well as used more modern compact diesels, just depends on what you want to spend mainly, dont buy any tractor that you havent seen in person and operated to make sure all its systems work as they should, and it doesnt have any unusual noises or large leaks, if you buy online, its worth it to go see the tractor, even if you cant haul it yourself, its a big investment, you dont need any expensive surprises

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
