Others? said by nunya: Commercial walk behinds and ZTR riders are ideal for steep landscapes. Why do you think the professionals use them? Ride on tractors are actually quite dangerous on steep grades. I agree about the tractors but I think the ZTR riders are just as dangerous. When I was a kid, there was a landscaping guy that was killed down the street from my parent's house when the ZTR flipped over and pinned him to the ground. Unfortunately for him, he was mowing grass on a steep hill next to a pond and was pinned underwater. I would suggest a well-made self propelled walk-behind. I am surprised no one has mentioned Honda. They sure are expensive but my parents still use their 25-year old mower and my 8 year old one works like it was new. -- Everyone should own a Mac! Go Bucks!

nunya Who is John Galt? Premium,MVM join:2000-12-23 O Fallon, MO kudos:8 Reviews: ·Charter ·surpasshosting ·voip.ms	I think the largest mower Honda makes is 21". The OP mentioned "acres" of land, and it appears he is trying to escape from a small mower. There are some commercial brands that do use Honda engines. As far as the dangers of power equipment: any piece of power equipment in the wrong hands can be injurious or deadly. People get too comfortable and do stupid things. -- ...because I care.

Subaru 1-3-2-4 Premium join:2001-05-31 Greenwich, CT	reply to Fronkman I had a riding mower flip on me once.. I was in my early teens and I took it up a slight incline and with the motor being in the rear (can't remember the brand) it flipped... Lucky for me I jumped out of the seat just before I felt the balance get crazy. scary how it happened so fast.
