Hmm - I used to mow the village green when we lived in the Dales using
the villages gang mowers behind my elderly Series 2. Steep slopes mostly
in 1st low range.
Also used it when towing vehicles out of the way on snowy steep roads
when needing to get them out of the way when trying to get to work.
Those where the days - I was a trainee living way up dale. Got in to
work one very snowy day just in time (took two hours to do 35 miles) and
heard the PM taking a phone call from one of the partners saying he
couldn't get in because of the snow. I had passed his door some three
miles and ten minutes previously.
