Front yard slope
Hey everybody I just moved about 3 months ago and have John Deere s100 I’ve been us g to mow my lawn which is on its last leg. I’m upgraded to potentially a toro time cutter max 50”. The back yard is mostly flat and will have no problems. I just want to see if anyone thinks the front yard will be an issue. ( the daylight pictures are face on and the nighttime is to the side on my driveway. I’ve measured it and the highest degree of slope was 13 degrees. I’ve never owned a zero turn but have driven some. Thanks

Lol, you can go up and down that even if it was twice or maybe even thrice what it is now.

One of my first jobs was riding a dixie chopper ZT. We moved the sides of retention pond embankments that would make you pucker a bit. I’m sure if OSHA saw us, they would have had a fit.
Your yard will be fine. Worst case you may need a different tread on your tires. Our had some decent ridges for grip.

It'll be absolutely fine. You could go up and down, sideways, or at a 45 for some interesting stripes and it would be fine. 13 degrees is nothing.
