Mowing Mowing 40 degree hills

Yes 40 degrees. When you have steep hills that you need to mow the front of, you nee one of the Kutkwick mowers not a tractor.

Is this an advertisement??..or what??

Any slope I have that extreme will be planted in GROUNDCOVER and left alone!

Nope, just an interesting, safe piece of equipment I've seen in use at our state park.

Real low center of gravity on that thing!! I could use it to cut the back of my dam.

Interesting...
I wonder what the price range is for those. That would work great in the front yard of a house we were looking at a few weeks ago.

I use one of these: See our 72LC Hillside Mower

Power Tracs are much more versatile and more affordable. Check out their forum here or see the manufacturer's web site:

So they finally got those things going ok ? Years ago I saw one on trial to the Corps of Engineers. They rejected it at that time, could not keep it going.

My vote goes to sheep or goats.

I use a commercial Gravely 20-G, 4 wheel tractor. With the low slung cast iron tranny and rear mount engine this unit climbs like a mountain goat. The 60" deck also adds loads to the center of gravity. I have a 45+% bank in the back yard comming up from our creek and have no concerns regarding stability or traction.

Yep those old Gravelys. I have an 812 and it will go places I have trouble going on foot. I made some front weights for mine for ease of steering while mowing on hillsides.
