The only thing I don't like about it is getting in and out because they strive to make this tractor compact to the point of being ridiculous. I call it my quad on steroids as it will go pretty much anywhere on my hilly property. It is supposed to slide before tipping but I hope I never get the chance to test that theory.
Yours might even do steeper slopes than mine although I don't know my limits yet. Not the same model as you are looking at but I absolutely love this tractor. If in question (especially if it's your equipment), don't try it if your gut says "too steep". Sometimes it's surprising how far you can push things and other times one side slides, you get sideways, and you wonder why you even tried as you flip down the hill. I've gone over several times in equipment I didn't own but was paid to work. If there are ruts in the slope, less of a slope. If there are stumps or rocks, less of a slope. If I have to make turns, less of a slope. There are too many factors that go into play when deciding the exact angle. If the ground conditions are right, I can back up those slopes with a 8' rotary cutter out the back and both the front and rear axles locked in 4X4 and the bucket out front just in case. The seat belt hurts after a while and I have my feet on the dash when going down those hills.
I've only graded them with an old (borrowed) D9 that had a 8' stinger on the rear I could stab in the ground to slow my progress while pushing dirt down the slope.
The 'steep' slopes I have are more than quite the challenge for any motorcycle (without a 5' extended rear swing arm) or ATV. I consider the slopes 'extreme' when you cannot climb them with hiking boots and your hands even pulling out all the grass or shrubs you can get a hold of. I have some 'steep' slopes on my property and then I have some 'extreme' slopes.
