In Reply to: Re: Scotts Yard Tractor Manufactured by John Deer posted by Erics on Saturday, February 23, 2002:
: Thanks for the info on your experience, Ron.
: Yesterday, I talked to a JD dealer. He pretty
: much told me that the Scotts/Sabre line is well
: made, but that its materials are not quite as
: heavy duty as the "real" JD so it may not last
: quite as long. But he also said that nearly anything
: that's well-cared for will last a long time.
: Let me ask you one thing: My lot is sloped (rather
: steeply in the back half) and I'm a little
: concerned about the power of the tractor in
: getting up the hill while hauling a loaded cart.
: Is your lot sloped at all or have you had any
: concerns about the torque of the engine?
: Thanks!
How Steep is steep? anthing over 30* and you'll be in trouble. ALWAYS keep your machine in line with the hill - NO SIDE HILLING and if it is deep with grass or leaves put the chains on!
