Read articles →A first-person account of brush hogging a steep hill for the first time on a Massey Ferguson 1740M, focused almost entirely on the experience of navigating the slope safely rather than on the tractor's specs or capabilities. The operator shares a real safety scare, a hidden ground hole nearly caught a front wheel, and a practical decision to always reverse uphill going forward. Best for newer operators curious about real learning-curve moments.
Posted by the Momma Got A Tractor channel, which appears to follow an owner-operator learning through hands-on experience on their own property.
The operator found driving up the hill with the brush hog down felt too unsafe and decided to back up the hill from now on instead, since they were more comfortable going backward.
The operator nearly hit an unseen hole with the front wheel while going downhill, which could have taken them out, so they marked it with bright blue crates and poles.
