Re: My Pond Project Only way to know for sure is to drive it with what you plan to mow it with. My dam is 3:1 under water and then works it's way to flay in 12 to 20 feet. It's pretty scary in places, but doable. I just have to go real slow. Having the finish mower has made a huge differenc in the slope that I can mow and in not getting stuck as easy. The rotary mower put allot of weight on the rear of the tractor and it sunk much faster!!!!
Honestly, if you plan on living there and maintaining it, get the mowing slope as shallow as possible. Spend the time now to get it right and enjoy it the rest of your life. Get it too steep and the rest of your life, this will always be an issue for you.
