Slope Mowing

Slope mowing means the expert maintenance of steep inclines and undulating turf, delivering a consistent, quality cut all while maintaining operator safety and comfort. And mowing steep slopes demands powerful equipment designed for stability. 

Stability While Mowing on Steep Hills 

Take on steep slopes with confidence with the all-wheel drive Bobcat® AT450 articulating tractor. The rugged oscillating frame bends and flexes in the middle keeping all wheels firmly on the ground. Plus, the unique design allows for tight turning radiuses and intense maneuverability beyond traditional compact tractors. Equipped with hydraulic weight transfer, it powers through the most demanding terrain and uneven turf making it the ideal machine for mowing slopes.

Mow Up to 30 Degree Slopes

Operators taking on challenging slopes like highway embankments, retention ponds, ski hills or steeper inclines on personal property must take into account terrain conditions, as well as the stability of their machine. The wheel spacer kit, which extends the AT450 wheels outward 3 inches, allows the machine to take on slopes up to 25 degrees. For 30-degree inclines, the dual wheel kit enhances stability with the addition of four tires that evenly distribute weight.

    Extreme slope mowing at 30 degrees requires the addition of the dual wheel tire kit. The inclusion of four additional tires on the AT450 increases the surface-to-tire ratio enhancing the stability of the machine. This also distributes the weight evenly creating less turf disturbance and less ground compaction. Combine with the on-the-fly hydraulic weight transfer system to take on the most challenging slopes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Slope Mowing?

Slope mowing is defined as maintaining turf on uneven terrain pitched at least 10 degrees, all the way up to 30 degrees or more. Examples of this include gently undulating rough areas on golf courses, small landscaped inclines on homeowner properties and in city parks, and some areas found around college or hospital campuses.
