Mountain agricultural technology

Mountain farmers are often severely disadvantaged by the hilly steep slopes. Mountain agricultural technology differs from conventional agricultural technology in particular due to the difficult terrain conditions &#; however, the activities are often the same.

With competitive price and timely delivery, HUILI Machinery sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

An agricultural tool that is used in the mountains must be strong, manoeuvrable and, above all, suitable for slopes; standard tractors do not meet these requirements. The main focus must be on the safety of the operator &#; economy and efficiency are our bonus features.

REFORM has set itself the goal of eliminating the imbalance between conventional and mountain farmers, by manufacturing products that are essential for working under extreme terrain conditions.

The weight plays an important role on slopes; every kilogram counts. In the development of Reform vehicles, we pay special attention to lightweight construction. The components are optimised for their use. Not only the weight plays a critical role, but also other technical features such as 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering with crab steering, low centre of gravity, and the centre tube design. Both our tool carriers and the matching attachments meet these requirements and excel with the highest quality and efficiency.

I have been reading these post and had to /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif. I'm not so sure that these guys know about the landscape around Cashiers. They are talking about mowing hills like there isn't anything to it. They would be surprised at just the driveways that are over 25% grade around here./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Mine is between 30 & 35%. I'm not too far from your place. Close to Cherokee. While surfing, I found just what you need. Check it out at, <A target="_blank" HREF=http://mutualdevelopment.tripod.com/>http://mutualdevelopment.tripod.com/</A> . or check out Blueridge Equipment in Franklin, NC hwy 64 for that Kioti. Todd will treat you right.
Bill Moss man, I checked out the trac last evening...very impressive, but to go for the one that can handle decent weight in the FEL, I'd have to belly up to the bar for nearly 30K....twice what I am willing to go, but you've got me drooling over that fine machine. Maybe the wife will pay half.

The unit you sent me a link for IS a manly beast...also worth considering...I'm surprised you don't add it to your fleet. How 'bout you buy that, I'll give you 10,001 for the Kioti you just bought and we can occasionally trade off when needed. ByuBill
For my Power Trac , with dual tires, 25% to 35% mowing, side hill cutting even, is a piece of cake. It will handle to 40 degrees (Is that really the 83% my calculator says it is?)
That being said with great confidence, of course, there is no way I would be on that kind of a hill with my or any other machine. Just for general info, I'd like to hear from some of the crawler guys. I've never seen a crawler go over, but I've been told that they are a lot more prone to rollover than they look. I do know of one death near my place, where a crawler went over doing a roadside slope.
For mowing slopes, Power Trac, DewEze and Kutquik actually market the capability. Aebi and some other European orchard tractors do, as well. I may be wrong, but I think the Power Trac advertizes the steepest slope capability. <font color=blue>MossRoad,</font color=blue>
No offence intended there. I agree that the Power Trac is a great little machine. From reading your post, I can tell that you really love yours/w3tcompact/icons/love.gif. However, until I see one running up one of these ft 45% angle hills with rocks, limbs, and groundhog holes in its path I'll not believe it. Maybe on a golf course and a small hill. Again, sorry if I offended you.
Bill Roy:
Yours is the first time I've seen the percent grade done by a comparison of the number of degrees to 90. May be correct, but I think more commonly it is calculated as the rise divided by the run (tangent) expressed in percent.
A quick search got me one link <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.howstuffworks.com/question380.htm>Percent Grade</A>
Do you know any other references? No offense taken at all. I enjoy these conversations.

One thing to note:

Isn't the % grade = rise/distance X 100

So a 100% grade = 1 foot up for every 1 foot forward

So a 100% grade = a 45 degree hill

So a 45% grade = a 22.5 degree hill.

Therefore I think Charlie is correct when he says 83% grade on a 40 degree slope.

Is this correct?
