Modern Tractor Discussion Board Topic: Re: Tractor recommendation for hillside bushogging [Show Entire Topic] [Return to Forum] Author [expand] [Modern View] dvtw 03-13-2009 13:22:58 199.209.241.14 20297 Report to Moderator Thanks for the comments. I guess where I was coming from was the center of gravity (cg) of a "low profile" tractor versus the cg of a regular "row crop" style tractor will be different. I'm thinking the lp model will be harder to tip if weight and width are the same on both models. Or will it? My grandfather cut the hills on this place for 20 years with a 2 wheel drive Deutz, widened and fluid in tires. He also went slow. It had a pretty low center of gravity - it was not very tall. I didn't know if anyone had used a "low profile" model for bushogging on hillsides. These models are typically used for poultry houses. I thought it might be a pretty good model for being on a hillside if weighted up good and widened out.
