I think tyre choice is a important factor. I would go for agricultural type tyres for slopes.
I just need to save up now as they aren't cheap
My 52" scag with the double wheels can cope well on slopes 30/40 deg only on chevron tyres.
2k should get you a good one.
p.s. ive found the scags sit well on the hills where the ferris want to slide down....
In addition to the scag maybe have a look at getting a humus deck for it, works like a flail but it is a corkscrew of TCT teeth will for through most things.
what about if the slope was a lot steeper maybe 60 degrees?
60 degrees is really steep would not fancy that much myself unless it was only small
dont think any machine would handle that gradient. strimmer / flymo i think.
250kg/300kg machines wouldnt cope on that :(
I do one with a strimmer thats around 45 deg. its quite long 1000m and 2m tall with trees. I use a poly cut on the strimmer which works well before blowing it off.
Side arm flail/digger mounted flail or robo mower. It's beyond stupid to try to cut that with anything else. Especially if it involves a guy standing on the bank.
For anyone cutting banks or verges you should read this PDF first.
It also lists different machines with their capabilities.
