For heaven's sake stay in 4wd and keep your bucket low as you can.

Im really suprised there isnt a pucker guage on the dash of tractors. Would at least point out when you get into the poor judgement zone.
My magnetic angle finder woud be the perfect thing.

Hope it goes well.

Pucker gauge is installed.......... but not on the dash

It's .... IN THE SEAT

Good point about a gauge type that has a PRE WARNING that one is approaching pucker factor. Rather you believe it or not is up to the user I guess. Some define pucker as entering the "STUPID ZONE" while others find it to pucker up much sooner than that.

The so-called operator that ran the tractor on a regular basis panicked on anything other than flat ground. Setting floating docks and removing them was an ordeal to say the least.

Im alive! lol :)
So I wasn't able to use the scraper going up hill - only certain spots. The Agg tires just buried themselves in the slick clay. Which, I did have a few pucker moments that's for sure :)
After I went up and down a few times it wasn't so bad. :)

Before looking down from top:

And I had a blast, and now need more diesel :)
Tractors are AMAZING LOL!! :)))

You can't tell, but the property was worked by a dozer D9 So there are huge ruts everywhere. You have to be careful because you could be on the slightest incline and then hit a dozer track - that could turn your shorts a different color really quick :)
