Hi, I'm planning to get a RY48110 mower after I sold my Craftsman seated gas mower.
I have steep driveway (18 degrees) and the Craftsman brakes are these standard 2 inch disk brakes that could maybe stop a skateboard but not a 500 pound mower. After adjusting and still crashing twice I gave up and sold it - before it would kill me.
So, does anyone had a look at the brakes of the electric RYOBI seated lawn mower?
What is the disk size?
Does the mower allow engine braking?
As a reference, the specification of the RY48110 says 15 degrees for maximum hill incline. I have no doubt that this probably means going up, which is determined by the motor. There is no specification for maximum hill inclination going down- which is determined by the brakes.
Thanks for your help!
Paul
