Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrbb" data-source="post: 141811" data-attributes="member: 13825">to be honest you might be better off hiring someone to do your projectas the things is, ALL smaller narrow type machines are tippy and not good on slopes and off camber terrain there all made and designed for working on flat level; ground they all have higher center of gravity due to designs of them narrow widths, short wheel bases,  that never adds up to safe on slopes, all the more so when you add in filling a bucket and lifting it off the ground any!then add in NO suspension to help get over un even things like rocks, roots, or dips in the ground, and they get even more tippy/unstable add in low experience level with "X" machine or just in general of experience operating machinery in sloped terrain, and its like asking for a failure here IMO!as even if you rent something and then you tip it over, the costs of damages or to up right it, might cost more than having someone with skills and experience and equipment, come in and do it safely as tipping any machine can kill you or severely hurt you! working on uneven ground, and then add in slopes, are not really  good for in experienced operators, its like asking for a failure the costs to BUY a machine, that may NOT be right for the task, is not going to save you any money, which again, you might be better of just hiring someone to do your project, or at least get it safe enough to be finished by you!, I'm not trying to discourage you here, just trying to offer honest advice so you don;'t get hurt! to me this job sounds like it should be done with a mid sized excavator, that has a wider foot print and some reach to , get the site into a safer working area,  mid sized excavators are way more stable than any skid steer   99% of the time any how!  they just have lower center of gravity, can reach out and level things and can  just do things a skid steer cannot, to make a slope safer to work on or remove it!  thus why again, might be better off hiring someone with right equipment for the job!</blockquote>
