BCS 853 mowing steep hill

Dailey's Farm & Walk-Behind tractors mowing a fairly steep hill side with BCS 853 diesel and 40" Zanon side discharge finish mower. We were mowing slow due to videoing and due to their being a barb wire fence part way down this slope. The tractor in video had stock 6.5 x 12 wheels and 5" axle extension. I prefer to have foam filled tires of the same size on this slope. Foam filling adds about 45lbs per wheel and it handles much better with the additional weight. One could of course put weights on the wheels themselves if they don't have foam filled tires.

Was that as slow as it goes? Is it hard to maneuver?

[@GabrielMillerd]

it can go much slower and the movement speed is not tied to the speed of tool, various machines have different power and speed capabilities.

What’s the widest finish mower you can run on a bcs?

I've mowed a steeper hill than that since 2006
