I would think an uphill turn on any hill of any substantial grade (5% or
better), would tend to pitch the tractor down hill. I'd definitely be
inclined to lean heavily into a turn so I could launch myself uphill as
Dave noted. In the Great Plains I guess this is no problem but here in the
foothills of the Appalachians, I'd consider it a death trap without ROPS.
