downhill side. Avoid any stumps rocks, bumps or downhill side. Avoid any stumps rocks, bumps or
raised areas on the uphill side. When operating near ditches or banks, always keep your tractor
behind the shear line (Fig.2-14).

If it is necessary to cross a steep slope, avoid turning uphill, slope down and make a wide turn. Travel
directly up or down the slope, never across it. When traveling up or down a slope, keep the heavy
end of the tractor pointed uphill. (Fig.2-15). When traveling across a slope with side mounted
implements, keep the implement on the uphill side. Don't raise the implements, keep them as low
to the ground as possible when crossing a slope (Fig. 2-16)
