[QUOTE="Bob Horrell, post: 3242, member: 135"] I don't think you should have a problem. When I demoed a T300 I used it on a slope that I think was about 1 to 1 and had no problems (I didn't measure it). I currently have a S250 with the Loegering VTS tracks on it and I work pretty steep slopes here in California all the time. The only problem I have had is if the hill is really hard packed. Without grousers like a dozer has you slide around pretty easy if the ground is too hard and the hill is real steep. It doesn't sound like that should be a problem for you though. I have found that if the slope is too steep to grade uphill, then I grade down the hill and collect the spoils and carry them back up. It is suprising how well this works because the weight in the bucket really helps to balance out the normally heavy rear end of the bobcats. It feels a lot more like a dozer then. Good luck with the job, especially in this heat. Let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
