My F-I-L somehow managed to roll a small square baler on this farm. It's steep.
Don't short on the tractor and don't short on the gears and tires. I pull a 336 baler with 8 and 9X16 thrower racks with a 4430. Better to burn a little more fuel than to be laying underneath a turned over tractor.
Always turn uphill. Jackknifing happens when the rack is heavier than the baler and is pointing downhill.
Keep good quality tires on the rack and don't over load them. Old car tires blowing on the downhill side will roll a rack. I run 9.5l 15s on my 8 by 16s and 11l 15s on my 9 by 16's.
Try to bale the steep stuff in the first half of the load and move to less rolling ground to finish out the load. If you don't have to go far with the loads, only load the wagons halfway and take them in to unload.
