How does a zero-turn mower work
Zero-turn mowers, even with tracks, are generally not recommended to mow on steep hills as it increases the risk of injury.A zero-turn mower with tracks can be a great option on totally flat terrain. A zero turn mower with tracks is designed to easily turn without repositioning the machine itself. The hydraulic systems make it easier to steer than a lawn tractor might be, but turning and steering up a hill can be problematic.When it comes to hillsides, embankments and steep slopes, a zero-turn mower with tracks has some safety risks. While the zero-turn radius of the mower itself allows for easier steering, mowing at a very steep angle can put the operator at risk.
If the incline is too great, the machine may tip or fall over. This can injure the operator or anyone working nearby.The most talked-about benefit to using a zero-turn mower is that it cuts down on the time it takes to mow. Compared to a walk-behind mower or lawn tractor, a zero-turn mower can be much faster for covering large areas. A zero-turn mower can go at speeds above five miles per hour.But a zero-turn mower isn’t always suited for all types of terrain, like under solar panels or in areas that havent been maintained. Very tall grasses and thick brush can be difficult or impossible for the zero-turn mower to cut.
Azero-turn lawn mower walking system can also be too large to cut under small spaces, so crews and operators may need to use manual brush cutters. This can be time-consuming and tedious, creating extra work just to mow a hill. Worse still, it can expose crews to dehydration and exhaustion if it’s a particularly hot day.Slope mowers especially remote control slope mowers — are a great choice for taking on waterlogged fields, deep brush, tall grass and of course, slopes.
