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.
