This is great to see for me. The property I have purchased up in Qld is very steep in places and I don’t have the nerve to go there with my wheeled tractor and slasher. I have been thinking of something like this. I’ve measured some parts to be 45 degrees angle. Do you think that’s still doable for a machine like this ? Thanks 🙏
it should be okay, only if you go straight up or down, not on the side at all. never try something like this on a wheeled tractor, so many opportunities to lose control, while the crawler spreads its weight across the tracks and has a lower centre of gravity. at that angle i’d be possibly worry about oil starvation
@@jasonyannuccelli2499 Haha yep, they are great, we've got about 20 damara sheep, bit wet for them down here in the otways but they do alright, keep the grass down year round, especially in the spots we can't get to on the tractor
I have a fiat 451C and a 4wd wheeled tractor in very steep country in Qld. You can still get yourself in a lot of trouble on the little crawler. Although low and heavy, it is quite narrow and short compared to a standard utility tractor with wide-set wheels. Unplanned ski-ing sideways down muddy slopes on steel tracks full of greasy clay is no fun. Backing up and driving down very steep hills works in small doses but is bad for the engine in terms of fuel and oil starvation.
wow 😍😍💖💖

@@youi511 ok.. thank you for the reply mate. Yes that’s a consideration 👍
@@youi511 the goal is to get some 4 legged mowers but have to get some fences up first 😁

Fit a over run clutch 9n the pto or the slasher will push you over a bank
There is one fitted, it's underneath the yellow cover on the slasher. Would never run a slasher without one
The tractor is Italian 🇮🇹
Yes!
