I'm not sure how to describe "how steep", but I'd say it is probably near the limits of a conventional riding mower. There are times mowing uphill when you turn and the tires do bite hard, then the inside rear tire looses traction and you spin. There are also times mowing down hill at low speeds where the rear tires will loose traction and the tractor will slide/ accelerate. I plan on adding liquid to the rear tires also, maybe consider adding Ag treads to rear.
I'd say you can probably get at least 2 gallons per front wheel, so that would add 25 to 30 pounds down low on the front end. The yard is not highly manicured, so some light turf damage is okay. Would be nice if the tractor would reliably head where I point it.
