That's pretty impressive. I have similar hills, some hitting 30+ degrees. After 120 BX hours, I'm still pretty paranoid and back up most. But I have also only mowed with it about 2 hours total, so the rest has been FEL and BH or FEL and RB. I have pretty much zipped around the last 7 yrs. on my lil' 20HP Murray LT and compared to that the BX feels tippy.

Don't have many good "angle" shots of my hills, but here is a couple of my mine...

Do you leave BH and FEL on the Kubota when you mow?

No, I drop 'em. One because of the COG and two, because there is little enough room to turn around without them. The BX feels much better without them on. I just need to mow more so I get comfortable.

When I first got the BX, I "crawled" everywhere because of the pucker factor. I am much more comfortable now on the hills with the implements on. I just have to go through the same process when mowing, because the tractor feels different without the implements.

I also have a tilt-meter on the hood - so this helps me gauge the risk.

Your post has helped - always good to see others doing it. Went through a similar intiation when I first got the lawn tractor - didn't touch some of my hills till my neighbor came over one day on his LT and zipped around my steep ones light they were nothing. Just a fear factor thing.....
