  Side-Hill Operaion

I don't need to postulate on physics or theoretical what-ifs of sidehill tranport. I live and play on hillsides all the time; my properties have maybe 10% level ground.
When traversing sideways, the first rule is SLOW. Hitting a rock or root with the uphill tires will afford a terrifying and potentially fatal trip 90 degrees to the intended direction of travel.
Anytime you find yourself approaching the limit of stability, turning downhill becomes very obvious quickly as the right correction. I've reached that point of near-rollover several times, and the experience will immediately show you that heading your machine downhill is the only choice. It shifts the center of gravity back toward the uphill side of the equipment.

  Side-Hill Operaion

William.
As in most situations, circumstance makes a difference.
I've found that when a tractor on a side hill reaches the point where the center of gravity causes a tractor to start to tip, if the operator turns uphill, he will turn it over.
If he is sliding, and the tractor's uphill wheels haven't lifted off the ground, he may be able to regain traction by powering uphill.
If other CTB readers find it interesting that there's any uncertainty in what action to avoid trouble, then i suggest they take all of the posted thoughts with serious reservation, and live to tell about it -- if they're working on sidehills, and they're carefull they'll find out soon enough how to react and be around to contribute here.
