[QUOTE="pnw_steer, post: 115517, member: 20231"] I'll answer my own question - it is too steep! I thought about the angle - only about 15 degrees - and I felt, "this has to be ok". So I tried to drive up it yesterday. The front end felt light but I figured it was newbie nerves. Nope - the front end came up and I started to tip backwards. Holy ****! Luckily I had thought about it and immediately started backing up. My front end came down. But once I stopped it started tipping again. I repeated that a couple of times until I just threw it in reverse and sped down the hill all the way backwards until it leveled out. Close one! So for any future readers - how your skid steer performs on a hill is probably highly dependent on the machine, but my Bobcat S740 will tip backwards at 26%. [/QUOTE]
