I have thought about backing up the hill, yes. I guess that alleviates that problem. However, even if on flat ground if I run over a rock (which we have many on the side of the mountain), my front tires come off the ground and I have no means to steer the tractor. Obviously the tires end up coming back down, but if I am on a narrow road, I need steering at all times.
The bottom line is the tractor needs weight on the front of the tractor no matter how flat the ground is. Even when the front wheels are making ground contact, it is very light contact. So since I am getting weights put on regardless, I would prefer to put enough weight on so I don't have to go up a mountain backwards. Do you guys have any suggestions for how much weight?
