situation and my bladder lets go!

Super A and Cub with the engine on the lower side. Almost flat. running over 
something on the upper side are the left side dropping in a hole!!!!
  The Super C with the rear wheels slipped out can handle much much more 
slope.
  The old tractors have no rating for the slope they can handle. And 
different setups make all the difference in the world.

  Farmall Tractor folks:  I am in the process of planning some major dirt
  moving around my acreage in anticipation of leveling an area for a machine
  shed for my tractors.   I have some rough land from which I to move a fair
  amount of dirt and at the same time make it safer to mow, etc.

  Any suggestions as to what I could tell the dirt moving contractor
  regarding the maximum degree or percent of slope to make so I can be
  relatively safe with my tractors on it--going up, down, and across.  I
  know this is a tough questions since it depends on my tractors.  All have
  wide front ends.  I have two Farmall As with either a belly mower or belly
  blade on them;  a Cub 154 with a belly mower; a Super C with front and
  back blade, and (the toughest regarding safety) a Farmall 340 with wide
  front end and loader.   None have ROPs.   No doubt if the ground were
  perfectly flat that there are still safety factors...".nothing is fool
  proof in the hands of a fool"....but what is reasonably safe?

  Thanks in advance.
