Re: Time to Cut the Hill again

That's mowing with a 48'' deck. Could have gone with a 54'' or 60'' but have a few too many tight spaces the 48'' works better. I'm mowing mostly flat land with the exception of a couple steep ditch sides. ZTR is not happy on the slanted ditch but it gets it mowed. Can't mow ditches if grass has very much dew or is a bit wet. Of course, mowing wet grassy areas doesn't work very well anyway.
Problem is the hill is a 30+ deg angle and no way to get anything up there
