Walkbehinds and side hills?

   / Walkbehinds and side hills? #21  
I have a 2 acre property and mow about 3/4 of an acre of it, a good chunk of which is my septic mound. The mound is built into a hillside and not far from the house so I don't like to let the grass get higher than 6-8" between mowings. The problem is the fact that north, south and east sides of the mound are quite steep-too steep for any kind of lawn tractor or zero turn. Right now I'm doing it all with a 22" push mower which cuts nicely, but its pretty labor intensive. I'm hoping that a self propelled walk behind might have a low enough center of gravity to navigate the side hills, give a nice cut and allow me to cut 36 or 38" at a time.
Hey IHDiesel73L ! When it comes S/P walk behinds, The only thing I know are Snappers! :) I have a 1986 & it's still being used & I have never mowed less than a half acre with it & I did get 33 years out of the engine before a valve keep went & I put a new engine on it , These mowers are unique because of there disc drive & there high vac deck design & they're a 22"cut & I also picked up a 1990 2 years ago that needed a little work done to it,& still has the original engine both of these mowers have all ways started on 1st or second pull(y). They are a pricey mower but they'll last you a life time. I don't think the build quality is what it use to be like almost everything else! But if You where to buy one go with the commercial grade& stay away from the ones that are sold at big retailers they're:poop::poop::poop::poop:! find a Snapper dealer if You can? I also have 2 rear engine riders ,A 1974 & a 2012 & they're still being used. & IMG_20200607_083712.jpgI only use them on my property.
