What is the steepest incline I can mow with my Scag mower?
Due to the wide variety of turf conditions (loose, hard packed, wet, dry, loamy, etc) we recommend first trying to back up the incline in question with the cutter deck down. If you are able to back up the incline without tire spin, you should be able to proceed in mowing it, with caution of course. If at all in doubt of a particular incline, it is best to not attempt to mow it. Caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. Cut these slopes with a walk-behind mower or hand-held trimmer. If obstructions, walls or drop-offs prevent you from reaching the bottom of the slope to attempt to try the back-up test, stay off of the slope with the riding mower. Do not operate close to drop-offs or along the banks of ponds. For more information regarding the safe and proper operation of your Scag mower,
