[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3228322, member: 41653"] The biggest problem with ZTR mowers is a hillside. Going across the face of the hill, the ZTR tends to slide down. It's because of the caster wheels up front. They won't hold the front of the machine on line, they tend to roll downhill. I try to overcome this by putting more power to the downhill-side drive wheel, while pulling back the power on the uphill wheel. This will result in "crab-walking" across the hill, if the hill is steep enough. I don't know the solution. It's just a weakness of the design. I have resorted to using a push mower on some of the berms here at my place. [/QUOTE]
