Yeah that large wheeled kubota Z chassis might be the ticket for these hills as there not quite as steep as the OP's

Ok that makes since

So I currently mow this slope with a 1998 john deere 325 and I can go up/down and even stop in the middle and take back off going straight up without much spinning. And descending the hill I can let off the hydro forward pedal and apply reverse pedal to stop and reverse up hill. How would a...

It surprises me that you say the F rides considerably worse than your zero turn. I've been reading a lot of threads on front mounts and when talking about grasshopper front mounts everybody mentions how they ride much better than traditional mid mount zero's. I would assume the F series is...

Thanks, steeper than what I got here. I measured 20 degrees at the steepest part. I’m going to have to rent/demo a large zero turn and I’ll know right away if it will work

Do you know what angle your steep slope is? Also does your f series ride smoother than your zero?

Thanks you guys, didn’t want to start a new thread because I have a hill very similar to the OP’s and am going back and forth on an f series/1400 series Deere or a zero turn. Zero turn would probably be much quicker but unsure if it can handle these hills. Plus I have 2 ponds to mow around so...
