Working on slopes Take care when turning on slopes! The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced by the weight (g) of the mower unit. This can lead to dangerous situations, especially on slopes. Danger of tipping occurs - when the mower unit is facing downhill and in a raised position, - when travelling in a left-hand curve with the mower unit raised, - when travelling in a left-hand curve in the transport position (mower unit completely raised).
