I guess it depends on the comfort factor. I farm a couple short grades with probably close to 25% slope. These are only a 50 foot or so length along an old Trolley car rail bed that went through the place close to 100 years ago. Some of the slope is that steep at the edge of the field most of it is up or down hill. I just spread fertilizer on it and have to turn at the side of the hill for a couple turns. I do slow down in gearing and leave throttle alone since it controls the pattern. Been working that since I was a kid. We also have a whole field that the first time in 40 years since it has had anything but pasture on it. I planted corn on it the last 2 years. It is going into Oats and alfalfa this spring.

Like in the 18-25 range maybe .I would have to look for actual slopes by them. The rest if pretty flat compared to those couple places.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
