What is a good tractor for mowing on hills?

02 Apr.,2024

 

I have a 2 acre hilly lot, some of it has steep hills. I used a 1995 Kubota 1560 for several years, very carefully. At times I had liquid in the tires and used chains. When I first started mowing this yard in 2002, I noticed if I tried to go straight down a steep hill, it would take off, free wheeling, braking didn't help. Lately, the tractor started free wheeling backwards when going up a steep hill, wery scarey. Since it's 14 years old, I sold it and started shopping for a new one. I test drove a John Deere X520 and was extremely disappointed. When trying to back up a small hill, the tractor simply stopped, not spinning or stalling. The differential lock did nothing. The same thing happened when trying to go up a small hill forward. Any suggestions on what would be a good tractor. I've started looking at Cub Cadet 2500 and 3000.
