Do you ever do this hill left to right?
Thanks
I haven't ever mowed it left to right, but it wouldn't be a problem at all since I've fluid filled my rear tires.

I couldn't mow it over towards right side if grass was wet tho.

IDK what degree it is.

I've got an angle finder gadget I used on my 4wd truck driveshaft once :

I'll try to find out for you.

I have a zx726 now and it is awesome on hills. It’s gas and only a 60” in cut and I like others have a diesel tank onsite and am growing tired of the gas can business lol.

Thanks for the info.

Coming off a 4wd tractor & 110" RFM : I was very disappointed in the lack of traction with this Zero on my steep hills & especially getting stuck weekly in mud.

Fluid filled Rears along with Experience has really helped me a LOT, BUT loosing 38" each Swath doesn't save me any time mowing 3hrs x 3 days a week.

I'm not DIRTY (thanks to RD deck) & not tired after getting off my ZD1211 & the cut is far better than my RFM, plus I can trim so much closer to trees & fences.
Plus the Zero saves me 10Gals of fuel each week :D

I took the turfs off my grasshopper and put bar tires on. The traction is significantly better. IMG_4309.JPG

How is the ride vs the turf tires.
Are they a stiffer tire ?
Do you notice much difference in ride comfort ?

I originally wanted tractor tires because they probably would have been stiff enough to run without air. Those tires are about the same stiffness as a turf. IMG_4414.JPG

Do you know how many degrees it is? ...
The Left side of my pic where your red circle is 15-20degrees.
The Right side where I stopped mowing is 30degrees.
Over on the side where grass is taller is steeper than 30degrees & NOT Mowable on my Zero.
That's where I use 4wd Tractor with all 4 fluid filled & a 10ft lift type Bush Hog Cutter mowing down & backing up then repeat.
