Husqvarna HU700F FWD mower that I recently sold. He was not happy that the mower was not handling the steep incline. I checked and saw the wheels were spinning on the thick grass and seemed to have a mind of their own and wanted to wander but got no where (like ice.) I agreed to replace the wheels (that looked fine) and it was the same issue. I believe it is a weight issue. Is there an easy fix for this? Is this common with this model? The belt and wheels are fine and working properly, Thank you in advance.
Technically front wheel drive self-propelled mowers do not belong on banks/inclines.
Tell them to get a rear-wheel-drive self-propelled mower, but even they will have trouble on steep banks/inclines.
I do not suggest putting weight on the front because that will tear up the transmission drive.

1st photo I start from l-r, 2nd photo I start r-l,then at top on even surface,back and forth.Granted,my incline is probably not as steep.
