Looking for a mower that can do it all.

I am guessing that my angle is steeper than that but I don't know yet. Speaking of slope angles, what is the best way to figure out what my slope is? I have thought about using two levels, one horizontal and one vertical and measuring the distance between them on the ground and using a formula to figure out the angle. Is there an easier way?

Here is mine showing 30 degrees of body lean. The tow rope is showing 90 degrees.

It is very difficult to walk on this 50% grade. :eek:

Any way to lock your rear differential? Doesn't flat-out solve your problem but might keep your wheels from spinning.

Another option could be a ATV with a tow behind mower?

Thanks xfaxman. I never did quite understand when driving on the interstate and see a sign that said 5% grade the next 3 miles. I always thought about it being the same as 5 degrees and I knew 5 degrees was nowhere near as steep as the actual hill.
