Fucked if I know.

But then again, I don't have to know - I'm not a farmer.

Really?.

Because I get to work on the pieces of shit quad bikes that farmers bring in.

No, Because you are an ignorant know it all.

I suggest, as I did before that instead of assuming you already know everything that you instead go and actually learn something.

Funny, only one of us is asking that alternative theories are considered and the data be interpreted, while the other seems very sure of their own viewpoint but unable to back it up. I'll leave it up to you to decide which fits your description better

How would you handle the quad up the hill.

I wouldn't, But I would hope that whoever was doing it had the level of expertise to safely undertake the task (or come up with an alternative plan), that they were using the correct tool for the job and they had taken the applicable hazards into account before launching up the hill.

Ok katman her's a we scenario for you and hb.

Im on a farm-its damp on the ground and i want to get up a steeper type hill that has a flat'er area on the ridge with a gully up either side.
I have to cross a colvit at the bottom and i have a spray tank on the quad full of spray for gorse up the hill further.

How would you handle the quad up the hill.

Depends on how much of a risk you want to take. It is your responsibilty and your choice to make. If you were fairly sure you would fall down, you may choose not to risk it and try to perform the desired task another way.

Saying, "Ï have to do this." as an excuse to take unneccesary risks to your health and safety won't wash with OSH, nor, I would opine, with most observers. On the other hand, if you were in a profession where you were expected to take personal risks you would aquire the necessary training for it, same as Firefighters, Police, Military, etc.

Heres your starting point, educate yourself. Get back to me when you have raised your level of understanding, Though you may need some life experience to give it some scope.

ride to the bottom of the hill, stop the bike dismount and put on the backpack sprayer and climb the hill....spray the offending prickly weed and slide back down on yer bum (or take a piece of cardboard up and slide down on that)....obvious really if the hill is too damp and the bike is top heavy..........

What a copout.
How about answering the question with all your knowledge and training it should be a cinch.
The hill is not that steep but has a possibility of due ok?.

Or, if the backpack is too heavy, just carry up a small amount of weed killer in your mouth and spit it onto the plant. See, always alternative solutions

So you would walk 4 kms up the hill 6 times with 15 liters of spray on your back lol.
The sliding down would be fun though.

Remain ignorant then, But don't consider that a position to talk utter shit.

I know I have pointed it out a number of times, But the investigations you call for have already been undertaken, resulting in the training and guidelines that you reject because you already know everything by virtue of your ignorance.
