Cutting and trimming the plains of Ohio is no easy task, but when you venture into the rolling hills of the state’s southern and eastern regions, lawn care becomes a whole new challenge. Upkeeping a property with sloppy terrain requires efficient equipment that won’t flip or flop under pressure. Traditional push mowers might be fine for flat surfaces, but they fall short when navigating elevated areas. Koenig Equipment’s John Deere Lawn Tractors were designed for this exact challenge. The innovative John Deere Select Series Lawn Tractors provide the perfect balance of performance and agility to conquer rolling hills with confidence. Keep reading to see how these innovative Lawn Tractors were designed to achieve perfect cuts on hilly terrain.
Operating any type of equipment on hilly terrain requires more caution than flat areas. The uneven landscape can compromise stability, posing a safety concern, while also resulting in weakened performance.
Some of the most common issues encountered include:
For homeowners with sloped properties, selecting the right equipment is essential to overcoming these challenges while achieving a clean, polished lawn.
Stability is everything when working on hills to ensure safety and peak performance. The Select Series lawn tractors are designed with a wide wheelbase and larger tires to make climbing up inclined areas effortless. Additional features such as 4WD and power steering provide even more stabilization.
There will be no slipping or sliding with this lawn equipment. Traction Assist locks in the rear transaxle with your pedal to give you better footing for climbing and mowing hills.
John Deere Select Series lawn tractors are built to handle even the toughest mowing challenges. Featuring up to 25 horsepower, these machines deliver the torque and power needed to tackle steep slopes and ambitious mowing tasks. The reliable iTorque™ Power System provides consistent, smooth performance, ensuring you can confidently maneuver up and down hills all day without sacrificing efficiency.
For hilly terrain and slopes, you’ll need a highly adaptable mower deck to avoid uneven and dull cuts. The Accel Deep mower deck rises to the challenge by delivering excellent cut quality, versatility, and cleanliness through its forged-steel design. The High-capacity decks also provide superior performance where extra durability is needed ensuring material is processed quickly and efficiently.
You’re bound to enjoy the ride on your John Deere X370 lawn tractor. Not only does this mower provide the stability and agility to climb hills with ease, but it also comes equipped with an ergonomic operator station to make the climb more comfortable. This tractor has a 21.5 hp iTorque™ John Deere engine along with a 42-inch Accel Deep mower deck that provides optimal airflow for a nice, clean cut. Features such as the two-wheel drive power steering system give the operator extra control when navigating obstacles such as rocks and ruts in the ground.
For an upgrade in power and precision, the X570 is an excellent choice. Choose from a 48-inch or 54-inch Accel Deep mower deck and add the optional Mulch Control System for added productivity. The heavy-duty welded frame and heavy-duty tires, along with traction assist, can give you a sense of added security when driving up rugged terrain.
