I saw a mower once that was kinda like that. It had a 60" deck. It was more like a motorcycle with a mower deck. It was mounted over the deck and used hydraulics to keep it level. I wish I had a picture, but it was the only one like it I have ever seen.

That is it? Should have bought it. I think the asking price was $1,500.

BTW, thought I'd mention, the power plant at Lake of Egypt just off I57 south of Marion Il...they had an older mower they mowed their lake dam with. About 2-3 years ago they replaced it with....an M5040 with duals pulling a finish mower of some type. They sidehill that dam, and it may be 35 degrees...or MORE. I've been tempted to stop and ask if anything was done special to the motor, like a pressurize oil system. There's a guard rail on the dam, no where to stop and take a picture of them mowing, but sure would like to since sidehilling that dam is an enormous PUCKER FACTOR.

Guess you will have to settle for my TORO on the back of the dam, a 27 degree slope.

THAT looks steep. Steeper than 27 degrees, at least uphill from the machine.

I'd be going up and down on that slope. Seen a video of a F series cutting up a steep hill a while back, but cant find it now.

How far up do you mow by side hilling....about where you have the mower in the picture.

The pictures were taken the first time that I mowed it, I started at the bottom and worked my way up to the top. Ya gotta have 4WD. :thumbsup:

No, now I start at the top and if it is sliding too much, I angle slightly downhill.
