Looking for a way to easily mow this narrow slopes area between the driveway and fence. It's too steep to ride a tractor or any type of zero turn mower on it.

We have a 1974 Ford 3000 and my new Kubota B2650 will be here next week.

Suggestions? Thanks!!

A sickle mower or plant a ground cover that does not require mowing.

There will be boom mounted mowers for that type of situation. The cost may make them unaffordable.

Just take your time w/sickle bar until you get the feel w/it.

Doesn't look that large an area - how about a $75 Craigslist self-propelled traditional mower?

It's a pretty good area. It circles back up the driveway to the right.

Some sickle bar mowers won't work on much of an angle. For angle cutting, avoid the ones with about a 2ft long wooden pitman arm operating the cutters.
