Husqvarna HU700F

[Brandi]

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.​

Front wheel drive mowers are probably the worst mowers for steep inclines. Not much you can do to solve this issue.

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.

Do like I do,instead of up and down,try sideways or close to it

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.
