A thrill on blackberry hill

Probably the biggest risk of tractorin' is a rollover incident. Sure, you can get injured or even killed by interacting with a running PTO, or by a powered implement or...  But day in and day out, the bigger risk on uneven terrain is probably that of a rollover. This little hill, which is part of a much larger 7 acre brush hogging job, is always a challenge.

In addition to the slope, the blackberry thorns really bite!

Here's a before view of the slope along their drive:

And after...cameras are awesome about making slopes look less steep than they really are.





This land was COVERED in blackberry bushes.  This is great in the early summer when I need a snack though. ;)
