Gone But Not Forgotten
That is an expressway compared to my powerline. You can only do so much "landscaping" with a D5 dozer that is wanting to slide down the hill. You might need to use low range but it should walk up there with no trouble at all. The one advantage to the hand throttle is it will keep the pump turning at full power and the foot pedal will allow you full control of the ground speed.
