I live in VA and have some of the steepest land around. I have a Farmall 656 hydro. It does very well on the hills. It is a tall tractor. When I get to steep it lets me know. I can look down and watch the rear tires walking down hill or can fill it slipping. My point is this. First no one has mentioned that weight also plays alot in the game of staying on the hills. I work for the state and have been on some really steep hills mowing on the interstate. We have 3930 Fords or 4630 Fords. They are a heavy built tractor. Most of the time when a tractor company makes a tractor they will make two versions of the same. Not necessarily a utility vs. a row crop. But they will have two equally horsepower rated tractors but with about 2,000 lbs difference in the weight. Second no mater what you buy drive it round on flat ground and get used to and and learn where every leaver is and what it does. If not you might get on the hill and hit a stump with your bushhog and panic and cant cut your pto off. But like I said being comfortable with and knowing your tractor will save money in fixing it and maybe your life. My 2 cents Brad
