I went out to the neighbors and check the angle it was 40 degrees no wonder the grandstand slides downhill instead of rides. The video does not show the mower pulling a wheelie when he mows up and down. My 280 pounds on a hill that steep would require I step off and walk behind to keep it on the ground. I

The slope in the video could be done with a Grandstand or most any stander if done right and it doesn't show the mower pulling a wheelie but I also know how easy it could happen and for a inexperienced operator like the one in the video based on some of the things he was doing, it's an accident looking to happen. The Grandstand and Vantage are both rated for 20 degrees, not sure about the Wright, Scag and some of the others.
