[QUOTE="Bob Horrell, post: 3268, member: 135"] Also, I always use my 4in1 bucket on really steep slopes. They are a lot heavier than the normal buckets (I have a John Deere 78" 4n1 that I modified - holds a yard of material and weighs 1250lbs empty). The extra weight and the fact that you can dump dirt without raising the bucket really make them the ticket for steep hills. I turned down a job like yours one time because at the bottom was a sheer drop of about 75 to 100 feet and there was nothing to prevent you from going off of it if something went wrong. I just didn't want to take the chance. I gave it to a friend that has a D4 and is really nuts on hills with it. I really like to watch the guy work because of some of the insane things he does. It is like he spends a lot of his time on the ragged edge of its capabilities. He has a reputation for his hill work. [/QUOTE]
