I have two customers with steep hills. One is a pain but the other is a bit dangerous to try and mow.

I have outfitted a pushmower with a rope pulley and two eyebolts so I can roll the thing downhill then pull it back up.

BUT I think a tracked or 4WD radio controlled mower is the way.

I've watched a bunch of videos and I think I can do this, although I will have to outsource the radio control bits.

I already have a couple of mowers I could use.

Thoughts?

Ventrack make them for large areas
There are some rough cut mowers for farm use as well
Don't know about push mowers
In reality slopes that are too steep to mow with a walk behind probably should not be lawn.
