The 6000/Lazer X chassis is goated when it comes to hillside performance on sitdown mowers. That said, I say any hill that can be mowed with a conventional (non dually) zeroturn rider or stand on, I think I could mow it with a 60" Grandstand. I have yet to find a stander or rider that will take hills like a Grandstand will. Ventracs are awesome, but they definitely come with a price.

Great video…….. after watching this video I was so glad that I purchased the Commercial Cub Cadet PRO Z 960 with steering. I mower weekly lawns at 25 degrees or more, and my employees can do it with one hand, and keep straight stripes. All wheel steering is like having 4WD. We now own four of these mowers and my Exmark and Scag are my backup mowers. Thx

I use a JD X739 lawn tractor. It has full time hydraulic all wheel drive and all wheel steer. The engine is rated for full time 20 deg use and up to 25 deg max short term. The turn radius with a 60 inch deck is about 6 - 8 inches. JD does not recommend operating above 18 deg's with the tractor in its base configuration, but that is a very comfortable stable 18 deg's. In my day to day use I remain in the seat up to about 22 deg's cross slope. Above that I hike out onto the edge of the seat to move the center of gravity over the high wheel and maintain an upright posture. The machine has a low center of gravity, a wide base, and tracks true cross slope. A interesting plus to the all wheel steer is that a set of wheels are always pointing up / down hill when turning on a slope which greatly adds to traction and stability. I can turn in ditches and on slops with ease with no wheel slip.

I was looking for a review like this a few years ago when I was buying a new mower for my hilly lawn! I’m happy with my sit down zero turn but I was wanting to fry a stander. I’m kinda glad I didn’t after watching this. Our yard is as steep as what you were on in places and I do some crab walking when it’s not completely dry but I feel safe. It’s hell on the grass though. I don’t have a lot of grass on the steep stuff. You guys do a good job with your reviews!

In TN our back hill was between 23 and 30 degrees depending on where you were but top and bottom were flattish. Old style rider straight up and down did so well. Also did push for that section only (also old style that was user propelled) and it was perfectly stable but was also a very good workout.

I started out with a walk-behind and an aftermarket velke. The velke had those skinny wheels and was an awful ride. I ended up cutting the front wheel spindles off of an old riding mower and welded them onto the velke. The wide, air-cushioned tires made a world of difference and put the velke wheels in the same track as the mower wheels, so the stripes were cleaner. Went from that to a Ventrac, the ultimate king of side slopes

Comparing different style mowers with different widths on various degree slopes really isn't fair. I'd be interested in seeing a future video comparing the different types of mowers of similar widths - perhaps a video of reasonable widths for homeowner practicality, and another video for commercial contractors. Which type of mower (zero turn vs. stand-on) for residential sloped yards is always being asked on the various Facebook groups.

Question: With stand on mowers, and how bumpy most land is, I am wondering if stand on mowers allow more of the body spread out the shock of the terrain vs an sit down where the spring does help but most of the shock is delivered to the lower back. This might be another great idea for a video. We have both and some people like certain types (sit down or stand). Thank you for taking the time and making this video.

If you go straight up and reverse down the zero turn will never run away... Y'all turning down hill was very dangerous... I mowed professionally for years in the mountains of NC and we used Massey diesel 33 hp zero turns and they work awesome for years... 72" is too big gapping yards that aren't perfectly smooth... 60" is always the best result and best looks especially stripping...

That walkbehind would have done fine without the sulky. I would run most or all of a hill like that with a rider all day.. In fact, I have a customer with a hill like that behind their house, and I feel better with the rider than with the 48 walk .....Ah, there are differing slopes....yes, their hill is like 22-25° if I had to guess. But I mow the top half horizontally, from bottom to top, and I never turn with the nose of the mower facing downhill.

The gravely pro Walk is the absolute best on the hills, Even superior two Exmark. And until you test one you will not understand. That's because people for the most part learn through experience. Put another way they have to learn the hard way. Do you know why the walk behinds are superior on the steep hills? Design is correct, but specifically do you know what In the design makes them able to handle steep inclines? If you're interested, then let me know and I will tell you.

big problem with this test, different brands make a difference even different models of the same mower type from the same maker make a difference. a stand on mower is by far the best option for a typical commercial grade mower but if you really want steep hill stability you go with a tracked altoz. personally as of late ive been running a wright stander and run hill that steep no problem.

I can take my John Deere 2032R and mow that hill like it's no tomorrow and I don't No if I would have to put it in four-wheel drive to even do it. But mine's a tractor it's designed to do work as well as mow yards. It mows yards as good or better than everything you have in this video plus it would climb that hill like like a D10 dozer

@@mainstreetmower Zero turns, stand ons and walk behinds are all one type, I hope you can see that. None of them are good on hills. The X758 is a garden tractor and the Ventrac is articulated - those are "types" of mowers. Again I hope you can see that. Art from Ohio

One of the first rules in mowing hills is dont turn down hill so i dont really think you guys know what you are doing. Any mower can mow that hill but you are going to tear it up with big mowers. Also scag is probably the best mower on the market followed by wright as far as cutting hills

I called up on of my landscaper friend before the testing and he suggested the exact same thing about not turning with the nose down. For about 90% of the turns we did not do that. But we still wanted to test it out because not every operator is going to be doing it the 'right' way.

I live in North Georgia and a flat yard here is unheard of. I use a 48" Toro walk-behind.(The original not the proline, I feel like they are better built.) Idc how big the ride-on is, I feel way safer behind the mower. More work for your legs, yes, but no way I'm sitting on my ass all day jarring my body.

This video is so untrue! Of course a 72 will hold a hill do a comparison of a 72 inch grandstand a 60 inch walk behind then the video might be comparable the video as it is now is very untrue unprofessional on the fact it’s being put out I’ve been cutting grass for 30+ years and I will take any machine on any hilland get the job done how you use them and your deck size

Thank you for your input. We are individuals who work full time jobs and try to create educational and fun stuff for our viewers on the side. We try to work with the equipment we have access to. The testing is intended to give you a perspective of how different mowers hold the hill. We assume that our viewers (who are mostly professional landscapers) will use their judgement and experience while coming to their own conclusions.

This is one of the worst reviews of what I was looking for. Walk behind mowers are probably one of the best on hills and the driver was awful. I don't think he could use that control setup. Zero turns are awful on slopes but a 72" is so wide, they do well. Use a 44" zero turn and try this again. I have had 10 commercial mowers. 36" exmark viking is a mountain goat. Exmark zero turns are decent.
