  Side-Hill Operaion

The way I see it whatever course adjustment you make has to be the safest possible you can acheive as fast possible. Therefore, always turn down-hill, you do not want to increase the instability by compounding the problem by adding gravity/traction issues to the side-slope problem. Besides, this would be the very last situation where you would want your machine to start slipping or sliding and if you are going to be borderline (or completely) out of control you will want it to be rolling forwards, NOT backwards. 'Nose' uphill will always give you the best traction, but it is not the safest from a control point, Best of luck.

  Side-Hill Operaion

I wouldn't want to try using the loader as a parking brake if the tractor is still moving. It is amazing how fast a tractor can flip over and planting the bucket will try to stop the machine faster than gravity, momentum & inertia wants it to. Likely result, a tractor on it's side, probably after a few revolutions in the air, and hopefully with the operator anywhere but underneath it. At least rolling fast down the hill offers a chance at deciding the resting position when the ride finishes. I watched a skid steer do this a few years ago on a golf course we were building, it must have rolled end-over-end a dozen times before it came to rest beside a pond, if the tumble had started 50' farther over the machine would have ended up in the drink. Not a good idea. Best of luck.
