    A good walk behind with a velke may be the ticket.

    Go commercial... Hmmm... I've never seen one used on a steep slope around here, do you know if they have issues? The CG would have to be very low...

    But I bet they are $$$$ too...

    Hmmm...

    Walk behind is what the pros use to mow the tough stuff. I can't imagine you wanting to mow anything that it would not do.
