Wider Rear Tire for better traction?

I took these with the cell so there not the best of quality. But this will give you a little idea of the slope in the back yard I deal with which is no problem but you got to watch it a little. I did drop my tire pressure to 8 psi and that helped quiet a bit. I thought I had it at 8 but it was at 10.
That's the back of my house and I've just stepped off the mower at the bottom for a shot. The blurry pic is a shot of me turning and snapping as I go up hill.

I would start at the top and mow it sideways so your turns would be going down the hill.

You could use some ag tires, or kenda scorpions.

Well I do mow sideways but I go down one side and up the other. Really didn't have any issues yesterday since I dropped the air a little more. It takes me about 2 hrs of mowing on the mower to ride all my yard. I now have 12.9 hrs on the Husky and couldn't be more pleased. :thumbsup:

TnHusky,

Glad lowering the PSI in the rear tires helped some!!! I've never tried it(have a relatively flat lawn) but had heard it worked.

Mow straight up and down slopes with a tractor or rider unless the manual says otherwise. And mow side-to-side with walk-behind mowers or ZTR starting at the bottom and moving up the hill. I'd like to try your slopes on my stander, I'll bet it would be fun.
