how steep of a hill can i mow with my ego self propelled mower? i'm worried about tipping.

— asked by Dave

You should not mow any slope greater than 15 degrees. That's the absolute limit for safety.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Before mowing any slope, use a slope gauge to measure it.
  2. If the slope is 15 degrees or less, you can proceed with extreme caution.
  3. Always mow across the face of the slope, never straight up or down.
  4. Be extra careful when changing direction on any incline.

If that's not possible:

  • If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it. It's a severe slip-and-fall hazard.
  • If you feel uneasy on a slope at any time, do not mow it. Trust your instincts.

Heads up: Never mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Watch for hidden holes or rocks under tall grass that could cause you to trip.
