Don't ROLL Your TRACTOR! | LS Tractor Brush Hogging STEEP HILLS 

Here is the video of a tractor flipping ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V8F-Y2w_3eo.html

I grew up using tractors when I was a kid, but I just finished a long career in the Army. Now retired, I bought my first tractor about 8 months ago. Learning as I go. I just got my first rotary cutter last week, and this video really gave me some pointers. I was mowing my road side access, and there is a small drainage ditch there, and it got fairly steep. I was able to "common sense" my way through it, but not knowing what I don't know, is dangerous. It's input / content like this that really helps us new tractor owners out. Thanks for great content!

Excellent tips young man! Especially the roll bars and seat belt.... hand in hand. One without the other is trouble. We had a middle age man have his tractor flip over on him... Thankfully by God grace, the man had his cell phone on him and he could call for help!! I have know to many men killed by the tractor flipping on them. To many! .... Beautiful country around you... so lush and green! keep that mowed down so when deer season comes you can see those big bucks better 👍

Excellent video! I mow steep hills all the time. Rarely is there flat ground in my neighborhood. I was thinking, the best tip is: "If you dont feel safe, dont do it." And then you said it. Excellent video!

Great tips! My oldest brother years ago, or back in the day as they say, had a tractor roll over on him and broke his back, so I really want to thank you for showing others saftey tips for tractors. No telling how many accidents will be avoided just by what you showed. Thank you for thinking of others!! God bless you!, Teresa

I have a trick I have used a few times: First, I always mow with my brakes not connected and my tractor in FWD. If I'm a little concerned about mowing across a slope I lightly touch the uphill brake to see if that wheel has some weight on it. If it locks up really easy, I immediately turn downhill.

So much good & useful info. Bud!!! And the view @ 03:58 mark!!! That was just a glimpse of how awesomely beautiful your land is!!! Dirty Jersey out again!!

I totally agree with everything you said CJ. My younger brother has a 4005 John Deere about the same size as your tractor. While i don't do much mowing on slopes, I've heard him talk about mowing with his front loader on and lowered . This is a good counter balast and as you said can keep you from tipping over while going up hill. Thanks buddy.

The top link connection on your 3 point for the bush hog, you could replace the straight bar down to the deck with a piece of chain, or cut it in to two sections closer to the top and put in a pivot point. Our 6 foot bush hog has a small expansion type joint there for movement to keep it from binding up......We mow alot! Both with the 6 foot bush hog and the 12 foot batwing and steep hills can be pretty scary for sure. Great video!

You are one of the only guys I've seen do it right. Good sound advice. Nice job.

How's she goon'? Very wise comments and suggestions CJ!! Being careful on the tractor today will allow us to get back on the tractor tomorrow!! Take care!!!

Hey CJ, enjoyed BOTH video's today. The safety equipment on those tractors can really save your bacon when used properly. You did a good job brush hogging that hill, got er looking good around there. Thanks for sharing.

THANK YOU for this video! I always wondered how to do this properly. Stay safe!

There are a lot of great tips here, thanks CJ, great video. Thanks for sharing

Well friend you taught me some new things here! I guess if I ever buy a tractor I’ll be buying one like the one you’ve got!

I have the same tractor as you in this video and I have been bush hogging 250 acres but there’s one extremely steep hill that I have to do and I’m not going to lie it’s the only time I put the roll bar up because I really didn’t feel safe without it. I didn’t use the seat belt because if I had to jump off before the roll I could but seeing the video that you put into the comments showed me to WEAR it. Thank you!,,,,

You have some beautiful scenery there! Right now everything is crispy brown in my area.

I will probably never drive a tractor. 🤣... .but I really enjoyed that and can see the sense in what you advisd. Have a lovely week to all. x

Greetings from Noble County! Great video and tips! Thank you.

Great video and good points. 👍

Good info CJ, have a great day buddy.

CJ!!! I'm tired Bud & it takes a lot for me to say I'm tired!!! But, a fantastic way to start the day is a video from you guys. Hope all is well, keep enjoying your tractor and I can't lie if I say I really Hope our paths cross in person one day!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!!

Lots of good tips! My tractor is in 4x4 about 90% of the time as well, we've got it, might as well take advantage of it.

I just bought a new tractor and have a 27 degree slope to tackle. This video gives me hope 😂 🍻

that was one of the best how to videos i have found. thanks

Lots of great tips CJ! The field is looking good, I always enjoy a good brush hogging video! Take care buddy!

All good info there! I need to be better about wearing my seat belt on hills. Thanks for the reminder!

Great video and Tips CJ, Well done buddy

Be careful out there , and one thing we have done is on our Ford 1921 tractor we turned the tires around and it pushed them out another few inches to give it more of a wider footprint very very stable and loaded the tires, the tractor can almost do 45 degree incline sideways no problem

Very good info , never did any brush hogging, safetyfirst.! That quick hitch seems to be very helpful if you’re switching implements regularly.or doing farming chores. My winch was on my last tractor for 18 years. If I was switching implement on a regular basis I would have one.i don’t see how you could flip the tractor over backwards with the brush hog on there, maybe I’m missing something. I agree about the 4x4 if ya got it use it. Great video thanks for sharing.!

Thank it was helpful for me . Best regards from sweden!!

CJ just watched that other video man. Scary stuff if you don’t have a seat belt on. I always put mine on when I’m anywhere near a slope. Should probably wear it all the time but I make sure to have it on when I’m on a hill. Great video man.

I have never had an issue with bending anything on the 3 point hitch with my rough cut mower going over bubs or depressions while having the mower hooked directly on my 3 point. Actually, I had more issues in that respect when I was using the quick hitch. I eventually removed the quick hitch and just use the regular hookup to the 3 point. No more issues after that. There is always some give on the stabilizer arm . Also the mower has a clevis type of attachment on the mower which hooks onto the stabilizer arm on the tractor. I have the same type of clevis on the finishing mower and my rough cut. This gives me plenty of movement between the mower and the tractor when backing up a steep bank or going down it and evening out at the bottom. I do agree however, that the quick hitch is much more convenient hooking up to different attachments.

Very good info!

I want a tractor so much! Until then, I watch videos....good tips..! Thanks from the original New Franklin, Oh!!

Good Info !!

Been mowing very steep hills for years, my advice is to take the loader off when mowing. And since I live in northern Vermont and move snow in the winter, I run chains on my Kubota year round.!! Great video and thanks for posting!!

Good info

Great advice buddy 👍🏼

That's a really good video. Liked it and hope to see more soon. SurvivalAustria

GREAT VIDEO CJ !! Long time in the making and well done !!. Tried to get ahold of you but email was returned and no call back. Fred, OLD DAWG DREAMING.

good morning there cj

Wheel spacers make a huge difference.

Thanks. I have a small lake with a dam. I never mow it, though my brother does with and old Ford 2000. I tell him it isn’t worth the risk mowing “sideways “. This week something told me to back up the dam. Didn’t go far before slipping. I and going to add a quick hitch for it. I bought a brand new Massey 55hp non 4WD last year. It’s great, but a little light on the front end. I traded in an MF255 which seems to be heavier and lower center of gravity. I feel uneasy on the new one on even the slightest grade change. Tomorrow I am calling the dealer and having a front loader installed. They will even pick it up from the farm and return, for the sale. I have responded to tractor accidents and they give me nightmares. Just not worth the risk for some stinking grass.

Thank you brother!

Great info, thank you.

Nice video man. I hate the hillsides no doubt! You just never know when the flip is near!

Great Video ******

Helped me, Thanks 👍

That LS handled steep well . No pack of power in the taller brush? Thanks for the video cj

Great tips! I have a gentle slope to work with so no much roll over danger, but still great advise to remember. Expecting my XR 3135H this week.

Great video, thanks as it was helpful to me. It's brush hog season. I am trying to find the video about ROPS + Seat Belt and might be overlooking it. Do you have that posted somewhere that I'm missing? Thank you!

I really liked this video. What happens if you’re brush hogging a hill that slopes north to south and west to east at the same time? Would you attack it at a 45 degree angle. I’m also thinking of loading my tires and increasing the width of my rear tires.

Nice safety tips, wanted to know if its possible to plough slopes?

Nice vid 😎🏆👍👴

Good points, but I personally ruined my cervical spine (neck) backing up sooo much on my mountain. 3 surgeries later and I'm basically disabled. Obviously age and other factors are a factor,Please keep this in mind

Well ya see if you put a chain in place of the top link like most do the quick hitch will do the same although I’ve worked with every few and owned one and didn’t like it had to go back older

Thank you for making the video. Do you have a link for the quick hitch? I need to purchase one.

I’m going to look at a LS G3033 4wd with loader tomorrow what can you tell me about the LS tractor good and bad

I have seen it go very very wrong before!

Quick question have you widen your rear tread on your LS tractor I'm thinking about doing that on my XR4150?

Using brush hog backwards won't hurt it?

First Trick get rid of those Junk contractor grade tires go to ag tires with Fluid!

Yeah but mines old and its only rearwheel drive.

Do you spell on owin
