The way I made it easy to lift, a 4’ 2x4 and piece of rope. Lay the 2x4 over the handle on the front and put the rope over the 2x4 and under the handle on each side then back up on top and tie a knot, then slide the 2x4 back to the flat on the mower. If you need more use a 6’ footer…. Jim

I have no idea why they have them in there but they were all bent up and i removed them and it works perfect since...... jim

When i had trouble with it sticking it was the huge flat washers they had in there.... jim

I also use the 3n1 adaptor with the bucket on the back when i have the stump grinder on the front. Works ok to move chips out of the way. With bucket on the front and the box blade on the back i can grade and move a lot of dirt.

I have a box blade and a boom plus i made a ripper and all work ok with the hyd. top link......

I do know what a 425 and an old 422 won't do, And i do know slope work when you say traction takes work tells me all i need to know, you are on the edge. Don't worry i won't both you guys any more, Play with your toys

I know what a 1to1 is and i am positive i graded more 1to1 slopes than anyone one the forum cut grass on. sitting on a table and doing it is two different things. Shoot the grades and then watch and see ......

I want to see it, what most think is a 1to1 isn't even close.... or they go up till back wheels get on it and thats it.

The pics. on Powertrac with the 1850 aren't a 1 to1 slope...... jim

First i would like to see it do it, but with someone else in the seat. second i want to see them keep oil to the engine. I know what a dozer will do on a 1 to 1 side ways and i sure don't see a rubber tired thing doing it on grass reliably.

I don't know any lawn mower that will even go up a 1 to 1 let alone mow it, you need tracks.....

I'm trying to see a 1 to 1 slope you are talking about......

my problem with the mower was pushing it up hill with the arms in float, the tractor wants to ride up the arms and take the weight off the front wheels.... jim

My 422 would lift and carry a heaped bucket of modified stone and the engine was between the pumps and the battery was in the rear......

plus it is the dumbest set on a mower going......
