ITS BLOODY STEEP, TOPPING A VERY STEEP HILL

[@jerrysadler6100]

I have a couple questions for you?? First why don’t you have your tractor tires spread out as far as they can go?? Secondly add the big wheel weights on the back tires plus make sure you have fluid in your tires!! Then the tractor will be like having Velcro on the tractor!! You can mow a lot more steeper than you would ever expect!! Making a turn at the top of the hill one of your tires can be off the ground and you are still super safe

Nice Hill video, a lot of flat lander's would be having Kittens going up and down there, nice job.Thanks for sharing a bit of Yorkshire with us.

Awsome video great 👍 view from the top of the hill to steep for me 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🚜🚜👩‍🌾awsome drone footage KV6080 great 👍 job

[@johncook3817]

Great video!!
I used to farm in Wales, you know its steep when you have to wedge your knees on the dashboard.
It keeps the heart pounding especially when you start a bit of a slide!

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Geoff, I've done a bit of tractor driving in the past! I don't think i have ever driven on a hill that steep, thanks for sharing

[@JonDingle]

I used to mow a large lawn on a lawn tractor. The hillside was 35degrees and you became well aware of how dodgy that was when doing a turn at the wall crossing the top of the hill whilst trying to avoid rabbit hole that would see you over.
It was dodgy a time or two even on a small lawn tractor. Top work young man, next year put a swingometer onthe cab to show vertical!
Top regards, JD.

Hope you got spare pants 😂😂 great to see 👍 thanks for the ride
Stay safe 👌 cheers 👍 🐜

[@michealhume3259]

Great video Geoff as always, I thought we had a field with a steep hill, but I think I would need to wear a nappy going up and down that hill😂🚜 keep up the great vids👍

[@bwghall1]

yep been there. And made the mistake of cutting long lush grass heavy with dew. on a old ford-son tractor back in 1977. hill was one in three. I went into a 300 yard skid plus. at the bottom of the hill the ground was flat the grass eaten short by cows and a wide dusty footpath we came to a stop. got off tractor and walked home shaken all over, if we did not stop we would have shot over the edge of a quarry.

[@aidanmunnelly769]

You showed us that hill before but now I see how steep it is. Good to show how it’s done - calm and careful.

[@MowersFamilyFarm]

Great video! That was pretty steep!

[@nobodypersonsomeone]

Good job we got plenty of banks here too in West Wales, I love the challenge of them. Have to say those banks you are topping look pretty steep, if it were me I'd probably top in reverse to climb the hill.

[@ZenZone_Soundscapes]

I use to mow hills like that at my old job with a Ventrac, but never on a tractor. There was another guy at work that drove the tractor. That takes alot more skill and courage! haha Great job Sir!

[@mikeclifton7778]

I definitely got the idea of how steep that is, no wonder you were sliding out of the seat!

[@jimosullivan4866]

Nice video, next time try leaving a few lbs of air out of your tires , you'll notice a big difference in traction

[@cpenhaligon]

Great video 📹👍good job done.

[@richardl7161]

That cemetery is in a handy place. If the tractor does run away with you they won't have far to carry your body. 😀

[@roberthiggins6401]

Won't be far but its all uphill!🥵

[@davidcorlett3266]

Lots of people can do a bank in the ploughing because the tractor digs in but when it comes to doing it in grass they tend to say no sometimes it can be to dry may a bit of lime help keep the gorse down 🇮🇲👍

[@RS-sl5ko]

Good strong tractor.

[@kieranosullivan02]

Drone shows the hill well. Do you think it was worth reclaiming that land?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Yeh it was worth it, theres about 4 acre across that hill, every little helps for young stock

[@zzirSnipzz1]

my first time on the brother in-laws farm he had me topping a field i would say steeper than this slightly with TL100 dodgy had to turn on the hill at the finish off just took it nice an easy got it done was actually most fun topping i had, think the worst thing was the sheer heat and no aircon or blower

[@johnbonas8080]

Keep it topped off Geoff or else that gorse will grow back.
I seem to remember, when I was a teenager, so mid-late 70's, that someone rolled a Roadless or County backwards over on that very same hill when rotovating it.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

I think you've said before Jogn about that, sure you said it was Houlstons

[@andrewjohn7952]

Remember watching my boss tackle a hill like that with tanker….. didn’t end well.. he took out two hedges and went over a main road on his way back down

[@ajb542]

Towing anything down a steep banking is just plain stupidity. Different if the weight is all close to the tractor and evenly distributed

[@andrewjohn7952]

@@ajb542 no he has going up the hill…….. but he came down backwards when he lost grip. I agree was stupid thing to do but he was the boss.

[@casto-]

Noooooo feck that for a game of soliders!!🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Now mate seen you have been busy I know exactly wear that is and till u see it in person you don't realise how step it is good video as always mate

[@andrewfletcher5813]

Forgot to ask you doing robs run if it's on

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Not sure yet Andrew, depends if if we are all drilled up, would like to go

[@w20952]

Good video you got to reverse up and cut down she will clime that no problem believe it or not diff lock will make you spin out just need 4wd and the higher gear so you got a bit of overrun on the engine to stop her looking up on the way down 👍

[@philatdovefarms5854]

Even I would have to think twice about that job😬

[@craigdoig9486]

Great content again

[@johnwaddell7239]

had a few runaways in the days of two wheel drive tractors ,not great fun also know a local farmer who wrote off a good case puma and nearly wrote himself off at same time going down a bit as steep as that spreading muck 4 wd is not always safe

[@james-andrewsmith2176]

You ever play at the tavern mate?

[@paulfreeman2259]

bloodyhell geoff

[@dereklitchfield7574]

I think the grave yard should be at the bottom of the hill.

[@normpowell3566]

I see by the cows in the pasture that you are letting the cows do the work for you instead of the cows locked in a barn and you bringing their food to them. Congratulations.
Can't figure out why your clipping so short in the middle of summer. I hope you fence the cows out for 60 to 90 days so as to allow the grass to grow back. I have been watching a lot of Greg Judy YOU TUBE videos on rotational grazing for beef cattle.

[@MrCarnagh]

Reckon I could have topped that faster with a line trimmer 😂

[@ajb542]

Remember you resowing this one! Takes a careful operator, straight up and downs the only way

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

If you put an angle on it you climb better

[@ajb542]
