Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

A friend of mine has a house on a relatively steep hill and is looking for a mower.  He has a fair amount of land but not all of it is grass so he doesn't need anything too big.  In fact, he borrowed a 21" self propelled mower and said it only took him an hour or so but he also said it slipped quite easily when mowing across the hill and the wheel (rear wheel drive) spun often going up the hills.  He has no interest in riding and plans on mulching.  I don't think money (within reason) is an issue.

He also has a lot of shade so the grass doesn't grow all that fast.

Looking for suggestions.

Thanks.

I'd have to say 2 cycle is good, but if you don't want to mix, then buy another mower without Tecumseh engine. 

I vote for Snapper self propelled with Kaw power (full pressure lube) or the Toro super recycler with Briggs OHV and full pressure lube.

Try Ventrack. com they are designed for hills. Stiner.com is a cheaper version of the Ventrack by the sane designer. Both are great machines. Check them both out on u-tube
