How Steep a Slope Can I Take My Tractor On Without Rolling it Over?

Overview

This video is an interview format, with Tractor Mike questioning an extension safety specialist who grew up farming steep Palouse Hills terrain. Rather than giving a single slope-angle answer, the two explain why no universal number exists, then cover the practical factors: center of gravity, loader height, ballast, tire spacing, speed, weather, fatigue, and ROPS/seatbelt statistics. Best for new rural-property owners who want a safety-minded framework rather than a spec sheet.

Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
