How steep of a slope can an AcrEase Finish Cut Mower be used on?
If AcrEase Finish Cut Mowers are towed in tandem, they should not be used on slopes greater than 15 degrees because the back unit will push the front unit sideways. If the units are attached directly to the side of the tow vehicle, they are stable on slopes greater than 15 degrees. The Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh and Honda Engines should not be used on angles greater than 20 degrees for any length of time because the engine will lose lubrication. The Kohler Engines are equipped with excellent pressure lubrication systems and are rated for slopes of up to 25 degrees. Note: Most slopes appear to be steeper than they actually are. From our experience a 25-30 degree bank appears to be approximately 45 degrees. Caution should be used when mowing on steep banks. Most tow vehicles will become unstable after 20-25 degrees.
