Does anyone know what max slope you can operate a TO 20 to avoid rollover on the side?

I have slope I would like to mow and I cannot go up or down straight because of a fence at the bottom.

I realize that things like an implement held high increase the rollover tendency, but I would just be using a finish mower which sits on the ground.

Well, I use mine with a finish mower for a field with a steep slope - and a fence/ditch at the bottom - 1st gear and feet off all pedals with no throttle going downhill seems OK (but a tad scary till you get used to it. 1st gear full throttle going up, and back off for the cornering.

As far as rollover angle goes - with wheels at max width setting, it is more than is comfortable for the driver!!

I was just commenting last week about my mowing. I mow the back side of a dam that has a 1:3 slope. I moved the wheels out to 76" and sit on the side of the seat (uphill side). I can't mow up and down as there is no room.

I never had a problem with that. I recently bought a MF 35 and the wheels are set at max narrow or 60" outside to outside. I don't feel comfortable with this. Course, if you move the wheels out (flip the outsides around; leave the hub dished in), your tread is outside your mowing path. So go to a 6' mower !!!!!

The other thing that would help is to put liquid in the tires and only fill half full. This could add a couple hundred pounds of wt below the axle centerline, which would be a great stabilizer.
