how hilly an area can it mow?

we advise to mow across a slope, not up and down, and to not use on a slope greater than 15 degrees.

I am 75 yrs. young! This mower cuts easily and smoothly! The handle is angled so height should not be a problem.

It's extremely sturdy I'm sure you can. We have it in a landscaped area, do no grass to mow. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't say rough terrain, but does fine on gravel driveway and low cut grass

Frank, No it is strictly a push mower with high back wheels. I think it would be very easy to move around but of course it needs to be running first.

The mower frame has 2 heights. The lowest one might be 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch. The higher setting is maybe an inch or a little over. If you're using just the trimmer, you can go as close to the ground as you want.

Read the owners manual. These mowers have limits on the grade. It could be dangerous to exceed the grade which could cause a rollover. If you are within the grade guidelines, I would suggest a low gear and mow directly up the slope. Be careful.

It should work fine as long as it is not too bumpy. My yard is comparatively glad but does have a few lumps in it. The mower is fairly heavy and the main wheels are big enough that it smooths out the bumps. Despite the weight the mower pushes pretty easily once you get going. I would definitely buy it again knowing what I do after using it for several years now.

Barbara, This lawn mower is not self-propelled. However, I don't have any problems with it doing my yard. It is kind of difficult to answer your question as I don't know what your physical capabilities are. This is definitely the lighter of the two larger models of GreenWorks mowers and it works great. I would say if the slope was not too great in your yard there shouldn't be a problem. I hope this was of some help.Nancy Winslow

It is great on st. augustine and bermuda - tall grass can be difficult if it is thick. I love my fiskars mower. If there is a wider cut i would get it. It will not cut johnson grass. Nice even pretty cut and easy to push.

As long as there aren't large holes, it works fine. My yard is uneven, and the mower works great.

I have a half-acre lot, and can mow it on one charge, without having to rush. The battery re-charges quickly, and the mower is no louder than an oscillating fan. I have had it for a little over a year and will never go back to gas-powered mowers. Good buy!

I haven't measured, but next time I mow I will. I'd guess it's close. I have it on the highest setting which is as high as the highest notch on my gas mower. Minimum would be 3.5 inches for sure.

The manual states 1-4". I have not used it on the highest mark as that seems really high! I did let part of the lawn get out of hand while doing some landscaping and of course the mower will just push down some very tall growth. Keep in mind that the best way to handle tall weeds is to get rid of the weeds in your lawn! What I found was if I set the mower as low as I could (and still push it) that it actually cut the long grass (and weeds) better but it was then very very short. You can set it low enough to scalp the lawn but of course it is hard to push at that low height. I have mine set at three notches up from lowest. This mower is for people who will keep up with their lawn care and keep a normal residential lawn. If someone has a weedy overgrown lawn and only wants to mow once or twice a month they might want to get something else. (and please don't move next door to me!)

As long as there is safe footing and enough purchase for the mower to be pushed then yes, we would advise to mow across a slope rather than up and down where possible.

You would totally be able to handle it. It's super light and maneuvers well. However, the battery life would probably not hold up to 8000 sq ft. We had a 3000 sq ft lawn (took it out this fall because of the drought in ca) and it would take me two days of charging and mowing to get it done. The battery was just not great. I was able to extend it a little by taking the bag off of the bag and mulching the grass, but it still didn't last for the whole lawn. And yes, the battery sits on top and you just pick it up with the handle. Super easy.

My yard is a bit flatter but has some bumpy uneven spots. It works ok. The only problem you'll have with this mower is hitting weeds, the mower DOES NOT DO weeds. Blades are very sharp though and I was surprised at performance to cut the yard...hope that helps;)
