I am thinking about getting a toro grandstand to mow my steep hillsides. I have a pond at the bottom of them. I have a Kubota zg327 that I use and it does a great job but my wife and kids think I am going to kill myself doing it and maybe they are right.i think maybe I need something that I can get away from if something goes wrong. Does a grandstand sound about right or would something else do better I mean other than a goat or a mowing surge. Thank you

Grandstand is a goop option. You can also get a WB or cheap push mower. Depends on the size that needs to be mowed.

Yes the Toro Grandstand sounds about right. You can buy what you like but, Toro with its lower center of gravity is a big plus on slopes and the larger ride platform is also a big plus along with the walk behind option. Something you may want to do is do a little test drive on stander before you buy. I don't know what size your Kubota zg327 is but I use the 36" grandstand on retention ponds and it does a good job. If you've never been on or used a stander I will warn you :smile: there's a bit of a learning curve but when you get use to the mower it's great and you may want to sell your Kubota. :smile: I know my Toro Z Master stays on the trailer most of the time.
