Please elaborate on this. I always feel more comfortable on slopes when the plow is in the ground. It seems to anchor the machine.

I've tipped one over on it's side while plowing/pulling. Soil was soft and loose, didn't anchor at all.

I have a burkeen b30 with the small tires , the burkeen is a very top heavy machine . I have layed it on its side 3 times over the years . We have waterfront properties around here that slope to small cliffs (15 to 40 foot drops) . When the situation called for it I would trench the sections where there was possibility of rolling or laying the machine over . Better safe than sorry . Getting it back on 4 wheels is not an easy task . i now have a l2 lineward for the slopes and real small yards , I have one of those little groundhog trenchers that is basicly a sacrificial piece of equipment , if it rolls over or down a hill I dont have much in it .

Dual wheels

Never found anyone who had them , and removing the wheel weights takes too long .

I bought one of these. Not cheap though.... 5k for the baby one.

I like plowing better. Bought a plow and it by far leaves a better finish.

Got a system to install that has drip in like 12 different areas of the yard and cant wrap my mind around plowing it, so i guess will fire up the trencher.
