So I have a new Raptor SD 54" and it does a great job. I know the manual says 15 degree hills but so did my Craftsman lawn tractor manual.
Issue I'm having is I have about a 30-45 degree hill which it goes up fine. Coming down it goes out of control. I end up with left lever full back, right lever forward just to try to stay straight. I go a slowly as possible at the top of the hill to try to maintain control but just doesn't seem to be able to. 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down the hill I push both bars forward and then pull back and control is back. Any kind of method on this?
Mowing patterns?
Tires with more trackor style tread? A friend has a JD tractor with tires that seem to grip great almost like a ribbed style tread.
I bought the best mover I could afford and they have a good rap for hills. Just need to figure it out. I would try to post a pic but need to figure out how to resize on iPad.
Do the heavier commercial models have these concerns?
TIA
