you should try a 10 horse 28 cut with tracks...that will give you a workout.

the hardest part is the entrance to my basement .

steep grade and glass french doors at the bottom... been lucky so far.

Put it into a low gear & pull the machine to one side while moving, it'll take a larger turning radius, but is easier than having to man-handle the 270 pounds.
