Riding Mowers For Steep Slopes

As a general rule, avoid slopes that are steeper than one foot of incline for every three feet of horizontal width. Most lawn tractors and zero turn mowers can handle slopes that are only one foot of incline for every four feet of horizontal width.

Can riding lawn mowers go up hills?

Most riding mowers are not designed to mow slopes steeper than 15 degrees and will indicate that in the manual.
