Ride on lawn mower for steep uneven slopes

Recommended Posts

I need a ride on lawn mower (probably a mulched to save time on disposing of clippings). The problem is part of the lawn slopes at 10-15 degrees, and is uneven. I am trying to even it out through time, but the slope is always going to be there. Some of the cutting has to be done side on as well adding to the complication!

 

Also to access this hill, the machine will have to go up and down (but not cut) a 20 degrees short slope.

 

Any suggestions? I have been thinking of a AWD Husqvarna rider. Would this machine cope?

 

Thanks

For the last 15 years, I've been using a 1970's Wheelhorse C series mower on a 1 acre paddock with a side slope of 25-30 degs. No problem at all, whereas if I use a tractor & topper, I need 4WD all the time & sh1t myself on the steeper bits.

A heavy duty rideon would do it no trouble - after all the machine will probably only weigh 4 cwt whereas you can use your weight say 1 1/2 cwt as a moveable counter weight.
