You'll be limited by the chain length that raises the cutter bar head. This is adjustable, and one can extend it, but you'll then lose a bit on the height that the end shoe can be raised. I'd recommend a manual, and a 7 ft. mower is fine, but a 9 ft is too much bar for the break-back mechanism. Certainly, one can mow at a downward angle, and if you can get the rear wheel of the tractor on the same slope, then the whole unit is basically in line. If the heel goes over an elevation, it will prevent the end shoe from tracking down on the ground below horizontal. I've been pleased with mine, and the prices have dropped like a rock post-disc mower invention.
