[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 127239, member: 7474"] I think that the mini tracked machine would be much more stable on a side slope (however I have seen these turned on there sides by operators not paying attention). The tracks put the center of gravity lower than a tired machine. There is no cab so you could jump off if there was an accident. However, a tracked machine may want to [B]slide[/B] sideways since the weight is spread out more. You would have to look into the different styles of tracks. The narrow skid steers like the S70 are very tippy. Since it is only 36” wide, you could look into putting wider tires on it. You could also look into putting axle weights on it to lower its center of gravity. It only has a 9.8 gal/min auxiliary flow rate so I don’t know how big of a mower you could get on it. [/QUOTE]
