ok i might have looked pretty silly to passerbys but i stopped and measured one incline that was shocking to see them mow. Now i dont have an angle finder and i havent looked this up as far as the degrees, but using a 2 foot level and a tape measure to find the pitch, the level is set on the ground one one end, its raised up to achieve a level status, measuring the distance from the end to the ground is an exact 18" drop, which translates into roofing terms as an 9/12 pitch. Thats pretty darn step, i had probs just standing on it but they mowed this back and forth, not up and down. Amazing if you ask me, no way i would do that, so the operators must have mighty big golf balls or something.
9/12 is just shy of 37*, so pretty steep, but not 60*. Definately some puckering going on though I wonder how wide the tires need to be set to do 37*?
