I have just purchased a beautiful NAA and I am going to use it for mowing my pastures. One of my fields has a rather intimidating hill in it and I am wondering if I am at less risk for flip-over if I use a pull-type mower versus a hitch-type.
I have a drawbar installed on my tractor that is below the rear axle and attaches to the tractor in front of the rear axle. It passes through a slot just below the pto shaft and uses pins to set it's position at that point. What is the real risk for flip-over with the NAA?
I have been using a John Deere 40T with a pull type mower. It has a much higher center of gravity and being a tricycle design, less overall stability than the NAA I would guess.
Thanks for the advice.
