I was given (literally) a 1945 JD A, with the narrow (tricycle) front, along with a mower, (drag type) and a disc (also drag type). I also got the owner's manual. All the while before I got the tractor running (it wasn't, that's why it was given to me), I read and reread evrything about the operation, posted a couple of questions, got a few responses, and NO ONE anywhere could say with certainty just exactly the "limits" for safe operation were. I finally decided that I would have to make those decisions each time I undertake a task, whether it's mowing, or disking, or for that matter, putting around. For me, it's a matter of going slow, and paying attention the whole time I'm on the tractor, watching everything, and basically (for me, anyway) if I feel uneasy about how the tractor "feels"---too much angle, wheels starting to dig in, or whatever, I stop what I'm doing right then and there. So far, that's worked for me. I don't have any real "hills" on my place, but, there are a few spots (like the tank dam, and where I have the food plots for the deer that are slightly inclined, and, sitting so high off the ground took me awhile to get used to, so when I'm working those areas, I'm extra cautious.
