Is there a lawnmower for hills?
Original Message   Apr 7, 2011 9:33 am
My yard is not that big ,but I do have a steep hill. Every year I sweat cutting it, for my reg mower wants to flip over. I tried a front drive unit. They just dont have traction on hills. Most of the time I just weed wack at it. If I do it looks terrible, but at least it is cut. I was thinking of getting a rear drive unit and put long studs in the tires. Does anyone have a better idea?

I have found out that a rear wheel drive works much better than a front wheel drive on slopes and hills.
