Grain Drill on the hill

Saw this going on while working, figured it was worth a photo. It's a very steep slope.

Looks like that grain drill is trying it's best to drag that track dozer down the hill with it!
So what was the operator doing at the end when it was time to turn around? No doubt he had some puckering going on.

Got a few hills that are that steep or better; just not nearly that large. My grandfather turned over a tractor twice in the same field back in the 40's. I use a tracor set for 30" rows; But I run up, & down at at least a 45 degree angle. The steepest part of one hill I am pretty sure is where the tracors turned over I face up the hill & bushhog driving up, push the clutch in, & coast backwards back down for the next trip up again.

I didn't really notice how he does it at the ends, I have my own thing going on that keeps me pretty busy.
