Inclines and ditches should be approached along
a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of
path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of
the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient
is so steep that such an approach increases the
possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate
crossing path.
When operating the tractor and cutter across
slopes and inclines, through ditches, and other
uneven terrain conditions, it is important to
