Overview
A short Q&A-format video directly answering one viewer's question about controlling a loaded tractor on downhill grades. Mike covers why braking against the engine and clutching out are both dangerous, explains the logic of engine braking in a slow gear with four-wheel drive engaged, and recommends backing down hills with a front loader load. Practical safety advice aimed at new rural property owners.
