When talking about mowing slideslopes, a good reminder is DON'T USE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK OR 4WD. Let the tractor run out of traction as a guide when its time to turn downslope.

Now, once you are more experienced and comfortable, you can be more aggressive if you wish.

I've lifted up on the mower deck several times, and every time it was when I was pushing for more traction with diff lock or 4WD. I have extreme slopes to contend with, so its a way of life for me.
