Tractor Choice for Slopes | Page 5

That's the problem with modern tractors. I did ask if they could stop them from doing that with their laptop, but I never got an answer. The older Same is my choice for side land. Mechanical everything—cog engagement of 4-wheel drive, full differential locks, and brakes all around. A wise old lime spreader driver once told me to keep the rear wheels lower than the front down the slope and to carry as little weight as possible.

The first 4-wheel drive we had was a brand new DB, the first the dealer had sold. Dad thought he'd be invincible, so he immediately set off spraying and fertilizing all the steep ground and nearly died on the first day. It kept jumping out of gear downhill on bumpy surfaces. He'd hit the brakes, the differential would spin the opposing wheel, and drive him off down the bank. The dealer tried adjusting the gear linkage but had no luck. I was only 8, but I remember five carloads of David Brown engineers turning up to diagnose the complaint. They reckoned there was nothing wrong, so Dad took two of them in the cab down a bank, and it did it twice. After hosing the mess out of the cab, they took it back to the factory to diagnose it and left us a demonstrator to use. Same problem! It turned out the rubber cab mounts were too soft, moving the selectors when hitting a bump. They stopped the production line until they got firmer rubbers.
