Small machine suggestions. Max machine width 40", speedy (6 kph/4 mph or more), good side slope ability, wider mower/rotary cutter, snowblower, etc.

[QUOTE="Thomas173, post: 127261, member: 4388"] Excellent informative information. I figured a tracked machine would have a lower centre of gravity as brdgbldr pointed out and also added the issue of side slope sliding--look for anti side sliding tracks options. Related I'll look up the ASV re side hill tracks staying on the machine including if they are available on smaller machines. Thanks mrbb. Wider tires is another useful idea as are axle weights. Thanks brdgbld. I know of filled tires but the idea didn't readily come to mind so thanks cm2ncfsu2. I didn't know you can get dual tires for a skid steer. I'll look up the difference flow rates for tracked vs wheeled machines re mower attachments. I didn't know Bobcat makes zero turn and stand on mowers. Another thing to look up. Thanks again mrbb. Also I had looked briefly at an ATV with a tow behind mower. Most ATVs are too wide but I'm sure there are smaller/narrower ones available. I'll check the options including speed that a mower can be towed at. Lastly (mrb's point), The ganged mowers I've seen are all for finishing. I hadn't thought of an ATV gang mower option. I had looked for unsuccessful a cat wing style mower with fold up and down side mower decks but I couldn't find anything narrow enough but it's easy to find much larger cat wing mowers like you see mower the highway ditches (via a tractor and PTO). Several commercial mower companies make nice hydraulic lift side and front mower decks but again the min. machine width is always too wide for my access points. foton, I'm looking up Gravely mowers. Thanks. Unfortunately I have almost 20 narrow access points to pass through so funding that many gates at a municipal level is a lot of money and a low priority but I keep asking and suggesting options to them.
