How steep of a slope can an AcrEase Wing Mower be used on?
If AcrEase Wing 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 extremely stable on as much as a 40-45 degree angle. The Briggs & Stratton and Tecumseh Engines should not be used on angles greater than 25 degrees for any length of time because the engine will lose lubrication. Honda engines should not be used on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Kohler Engines that are equipped with an Oil Pressure Switch can be used on 45 degree angle slopes without problems. 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.
