Mowing Slopes
Mowing slopes is a tricky operation at the best of times, especially when there are obstacles and trees to navigate around at the same time, and even trickier is when the slope has undulations, this really can turn the hardest of blokes quiet.
This website is dedicated to "mowing slopes" and will grow over time, so keep coming back if "mowing slopes" is something you do, will do, or want to do, there will be a growing range of mowing products available to try and buy, and all the answers to your "slope mowing" questions.
Most lawn-tractors are just too high to be able to handle slopes without tipping sideways or feeling like they are going to, the centre of gravity or stability triangle is just too high, but to their credit, they do have a steering wheel with which you can steer to the bottom instead of rolling to the bottom.
The best way to use a lawn-tractor on slopes is to purely go up and down, and forget about the side to side and turning around trees and stuff. You will just need one with a whole lot of grunt to get you up the slope because most lawn-tractors normally only have enough grunt to do the flat stuff, especially if you want the blades turning as well.
Zero-turn lever steer is a far better option, much easier, much faster, much safer and much more comfortable, but technique is required to do it without leaving marks on the grass; "tyre marks" that is.
Hustler lever steer mowers have the lowest stability triangle in their class, they sit wide and low, the seat height is the lowest in its class and the weight is low. Well worth a try if you are looking for a mowing machine to mow the slopes.
