You should see the terrain my friend uses a 74" Dixie Chopper Excalibur on. He works for the national park service and they put them things on some steep terrain. The 74" is a wide mofo and as long as you mow hills with a sideways approach it is virtually impossible to overturn. They had some kind of training that taught them that when they started sliding (sideways) down the hill they are supposed to flip the mower into a "down the hill" manuever, this give you a good opportunity to bail out as opposed to going backwards I guess . He says they get stuck in the roadside ditches from time to time but never have a rollover. His is a pretty heavy, longer and wider wheelbase machine . My neighbor has a smaller Exmark homeowners unit and I can ride wheelies on it for a ways cause it is light in the front, This can cause some problems on the hillies
