Mowing on steep slopes: ensure the right equipment!

The right tractor for steep slopes 

When choosing a tractor for work on steep slopes, stability is paramount. Our AGT mountain tractors are specially designed for such conditions. They have an improved center of gravity, which means greater stability and safety when working on demanding terrains. The wide design of the tractor further increases stability, enabling safe and efficient mowing even on the steepest slopes.

With competitive price and timely delivery, HUILI Machinery sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Choosing the right tires

Choosing the right tires is essential for safe and efficient work. For work on steep slopes, we recommend grass or agricultural profile tires, known as balloon tires. These tires provide optimal traction and allow work on larger inclines. We also offer the option of using dual tires, which further increases the tractor's stability and reduces the risk of slipping on slippery surfaces.

Suitable Attachments

Attachments used on steep terrains must be light and adaptable. For mowing on mountain farms, we recommend using lightweight front mowers with floating hydraulics. This technology allows the mower to adapt to the terrain, reducing its weight by 70% and increasing the tractor's stability. 

Safety Tips

• Regular Maintenance: Ensure regular maintenance of your tractor and attachments to guarantee their optimal performance and safety.
• Proper Use: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use and maintenance of the machinery.
• Education: Be well-informed about safety measures and working techniques on steep slopes.

Conclusion

Mowing on steep slopes is challenging, but with the use of the right technology and appropriate machinery, it becomes much easier and safer. At Agromehanika, we are proud of our AGT mountain tractors, which offer stable and safe solutions for working on demanding terrains with their improved center of gravity. Be cautious when choosing agricultural machinery and select equipment that will ensure safety and efficiency.

We wish you safe and successful mowing on steep slopes!

Working on mountain terrain means dealing with irregularly shaped plots, steep slopes and a great variety of situations on a daily basis.

This is why the choice of tractors is extremely important in mountain haymaking. They not only have to be reliable and efficient, but have excellent stability and adherence to the ground.

Added to this is the quality of work: since production values in mountain areas are generally much lower than in lowland farms, it becomes essential to compensate for the lower production with the qualitative excellence of the produced fodder.

BCS offers a line of isodiametric tractors with reversible driving position and wide wheel track that are an essential ally in mountain haymaking. In addition to being characterised by high specialisation, they are able to ensure stability and safety on every piece of land.

The presence of 4-wheel drive maximises traction and at the same time provides efficient engine braking when going downhill.

The low centre of gravity, the wide platform together with the high degree of elasticity of the engine, make it possible to easily overcome the slope variations typical of the mountain landscape.

All models are equipped with the exclusive OS-Frame chassis which allows the fore-carriage to oscillate up to 15° compared to the rear-carriage, stabilising the set-up on uneven ground and ensuring maximum drive of the four wheels always adhering to the ground.

The strong propensity for mowing operations is given by the presence of the Dual Floating System® alongside the hydraulic suspension with nitrogen accumulator which optimises the load on the ground of the attachments applied to the third point, favouring its 'floating'.

Reversible driving position also provides excellent visibility of the attachments, in particular during mowing, so it is possible to finish the border areas of the pieces of land in the best possible way and safely.

Low-compaction tread tyres prevent damaging the grass, while the large air-conditioned cab offers unrivalled driving comfort.
